Interview with @black-new-world-academy pt5

I am deeply shallow; hair, hoops, heels, a pretty face and a wicked laugh. And accessories. Necklaces, bangles, purses, bows, scarves, gloves, cocktail glasses, that cute little QoS tattoo and hotwife anklet. The way you wear them and the way you work them will get you noticed.

Some class A eyefucking and flirting skills (primp a little, preen, lemme see it), a passion for expression, a strong selfie game, knowing your worth and what you want, being classy and graceful with just a touch of gossipy cheerleader vanity and a hint of oral fixation will get you attention.

Being liberal minded, willing and experienced in polycule life, having a high EQ, being playful, being adventurous in spirit and wanting to explore, being a good person who likes to let out their wicked side during sex, being tactile and romantic, having good self grooming and self love habits and not someone who will be an emotional vampire, and being available (physically & emotionally) and being consistent will keep my attention.

Note that at no point did I mention skin colour, plumbing, BNWO or being a submissive slut.

I harp on about white women here as the blog is focused, partly, on taking whiteboys' women from them hehe. There's no fun in taking away something they didn't feel entitled to or can't relate to in the first place. Also pictures of suitable white women to caption are easier to come by.

But as @karlie-xox and @sissyfuckdoll153 can attest on here, Daddy's partial to a BAME baddie and the trans women I have been/am involved with irl happen to be among the sweetest, bravest, truest, most beautiful, most feminine creatures I've known. White cis-women are not the automatic top of my foodchain.

It's hot if you're into BNWO, but really its not a deal-breaker if you're not. Simply being with me and not a whiteboy is doing your part bwahaha ✊🏾

And the 'submissive slut'? Honey, I don't demand you be that. But if I'm the right Daddy for you, will find you want to be that with me anyway.

part i part ii part iii part iv

As Yn and Yuki landed in Singapore, a wave of excitement washed over them. The vibrant city sprawled out beneath them, illuminated with shimmering lights and the promise of adventure. They had arrived a bit early, eager to explore before the chaotic energy of race weekend took over. Yn felt a thrill at the thought of wandering through the bustling streets, tasting the local cuisine, and soaking up the atmosphere without the usual pressures of competition hanging over their heads.

Once they checked into their hotel, they headed out, laughing as they navigated the lively streets of Clarke Quay. The sounds of laughter and music enveloped them, and the smell of delicious food wafted through the air, making Yn’s stomach rumble. They stopped at a food stall, trying everything from satay to spicy noodle dishes. Yuki’s eyes sparkled with mischief as he challenged her to eat a particularly spicy chili, his laughter ringing out as she gasped and grabbed for her drink.

Between bites, they chatted about everything from their plans for the race to their favorite things about being in such a lively city. Yuki’s playful banter lightened the weight that often rested on Yn’s shoulders, reminding her that they were more than just drivers—they were friends navigating the same tumultuous world of Formula 1.

They wandered through the bustling streets, marveling at the towering skyscrapers and neon lights that danced against the backdrop of the night sky. Yn loved how alive everything felt—the rhythmic pulse of the city seemed to mirror her own heart, full of anticipation and joy. Indulging in some local street food—Yuki claiming he would conquer the spiciest dish they could find—they set out to explore the famous Gardens by the Bay. The breathtaking scenery enveloped them as they strolled through the Supertree Grove, the towering tree-like structures glowing in brilliant colors as the sun began to set. The atmosphere felt surreal, and they found themselves lost in the beauty of the moment, their worries fading away as they enjoyed the simplicity of being together.

As the night wore on, they ran into a few fans who were quick to approach them, excited but respectful. The fans were polite, asking for selfies and expressing their support. Yn felt a rush of warmth at their kind words; it was a reminder that people saw her for who she was, not just a driver. Yuki, ever the charmer, engaged with them effortlessly, his natural charisma shining through. They posed for photos, and Yn couldn’t help but notice how comfortable and at ease he was, making sure everyone felt included and appreciated.

Online, the moments they shared throughout the day sparked chatter among fans. Videos and pictures circulated, highlighting their genuine laughter and connection, with many commenters buzzing about how close they seemed.

@F1Lovebirds: “Yn and Yuki are seriously the cutest! I love their energy!”

@GridGoddess: “Anyone else think they’d make a great couple? They just vibe so well!”

@RacingRomantics: “I want what they have. I can’t handle how sweet they are!”

Yn scrolled through the comments later that night, her heart swelling at the support and admiration they were receiving. But she also felt a pang of vulnerability—speculation about their relationship made her wonder how much of their friendship would be perceived through the lens of romance. Part of her enjoyed the attention, but another part wished for the freedom to simply be without the added scrutiny.

“Hey, all good?” Yuki asked as they settled down at a cozy café for a late-night snack, the soft glow of fairy lights overhead creating an intimate atmosphere.

“Just thinking about stuff,” Yn admitted, her voice quiet. “I mean… I love that people are excited about us, but sometimes it feels a little overwhelming, you know?”

Yuki leaned back in his chair, considering her words. “I get it. But we’re just having fun. What they think doesn’t change that. They could say whatever they want.”

His words brought a smile to her face. “Yeah, it’s just nice to have this time together, just us.”

They spent the rest of the evening sharing stories, laughter spilling between them like the vibrant city lights outside. Yn realized that moments like these were invaluable—a reminder of why they were both in this sport, why they fought through the pressures, the scrutiny, and the expectations. It wasn’t just about racing; it was about the connections they forged, the support they offered one another, and the joy they found in every shared experience.

As they wrapped up their evening and strolled back toward their hotel, the city humming around them, Yn felt a renewed sense of determination. Here, amidst the wonders of Singapore, she felt freer than she had in a long time. She was carving out her own narrative, one that was as complex and vibrant as the city itself—and Yuki was right there with her, cheering her on every step of the way.

The start of race weekend in Singapore was proving to be more challenging than Yn had anticipated. It was her first time racing on this particular circuit, and the high humidity mixed with the sweltering heat made the already hectic schedule feel even more overwhelming. The relentless sun beat down on her during practice, and she quickly realized just how demanding the conditions would be for both her and the car.

From the moment she stepped into the paddock, it was a whirlwind of activity. Briefings filled with strategy discussions, meetings with her team to go over data from the simulator, media obligations that left little room for downtime—each day blurred into the next. Press conferences were particularly grueling, especially when the questions turned toward her performance as a female driver in a male-dominated sport. While she knew the media was just doing their job, the scrutiny felt like a weight pressing down on her shoulders, a reminder that every misstep would be amplified.

During practice sessions, Yn had been determined to find her rhythm on the track, but she couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that simmered beneath the surface. Each lap was a test of her skill and focus, yet the oppressive heat and humidity started to wear on her. She found herself snapping at her engineers during discussions over telemetry data, the frustration bubbling up unexpectedly. “Can we please just focus on what I need instead of going over every single detail?” she’d said sharply during one debrief, immediately regretting the edge in her tone.

Yuki, who had been observing her during the practices, approached her after one particularly intense session. “Hey, you okay?” he asked, his voice gentle yet concerned. “You seem a bit on edge.”

Yn took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. “I’m fine, just... it’s a lot, you know? New circuit, media obligations, and this heat. It’s just getting to me.” She brushed her hair back, the damp strands sticking to her forehead, the sweat making her feel sticky and uncomfortable.

Yuki nodded, understanding. “It’s a tough weekend for everyone, but I think you’re doing great. Just remember to breathe. You’ve got this.” His words were a soothing balm, and she felt a flicker of gratitude toward him.

Despite her frustrations, Yn was resolute about performing well in qualifying and race day. She pushed the worries aside and channeled her energy into the upcoming sessions. Each time she sat in the car, she felt a surge of adrenaline wash over her, the familiar thrill of racing reminding her why she loved the sport.

As the weekend progressed, she began to adapt to the unique challenges of the circuit, finding her groove with each passing lap. But with each session, the pressure seemed to mount. She kept replaying the conversations in her head, the constant reminders of the expectations placed upon her, not just from her team but from the world watching. The heat felt stifling, but so did the weight of being a female driver in Formula 1, a spotlight on her every move.

On the evening before qualifying, Yn found a moment of respite on the balcony of her hotel room, gazing out at the shimmering skyline of Singapore. The lights from the buildings twinkled like stars against the night sky, a stark contrast to the turmoil in her mind. She took a deep breath, allowing the cool breeze to refresh her spirit, feeling the adrenaline mix with a flicker of hope.

“Hey,” Yuki’s voice broke her reverie as he joined her on the balcony, holding two glasses of water. “Thought you could use this. Plus, I wanted to check in on you before qualifying tomorrow.”

“Thanks,” she said, taking the glass from him. “I really appreciate it.”

Yuki leaned against the railing beside her, both of them taking in the view. “You know, it’s okay to feel stressed. This place is intense, and it’s your first time here. But just remember that you’re capable of handling it. Focus on what you can control.”

She turned to him, the warmth of his presence easing some of her tension. “I know. I... I just don’t want to let anyone down.”

“You won’t. You’ll do great” he encouraged, and the sincerity in his tone lifted a weight from her chest.

As they talked, Yn felt herself relaxing, the pressures of the day melting away. They reminisced about their earlier adventures in the city, laughing at their stupid jokes and how spicy Yuki had dared to go with his food. In that moment, surrounded by the bright lights and his comforting presence, she felt a renewed sense of determination wash over her.

Qualifying day had set the stage, the pressure mounting in the relentless heat of Singapore. Yn and Yuki had pushed themselves to the limits, battling through the oppressive humidity and the fierce competition. The cars had roared to life, and in the sweltering atmosphere, both drivers managed to secure places in Q3—a promising start that filled them with excitement and anticipation for race day.

Race day, however, proved to be even more intense. Yn felt the sweat trickle down her back as she climbed into her car, her mind honed in on the task ahead. The heat weighed heavily on everyone, and it was evident in the aggressive driving style both she and Yuki adopted. They were in it to win, and every radio communication crackled with urgency and determination.

As the lights went out, Yn launched off the grid, heart pounding in rhythm with the roaring engines around her. The initial laps blurred together in a haze of speed and precision. She navigated the twists and turns of the circuit, feeling the g-forces push her into her seat as she fought to maintain her position. Yuki was right there with her, their racing instincts aligned, pushing each other in a way that felt instinctive and electric.

The race unfolded with its share of challenges—overtakes, near misses, and the constant pressure of the cars behind them. Yn found herself in a fierce battle for points, each lap a test of strategy and skill. As the laps counted down, the heat and humidity intensified, leaving the drivers drenched in sweat and fatigue. Yet, she thrived on it, her hunger for success driving her to dig deeper. Yuki, too, was relentless, each maneuver echoing his fierce determination to prove himself on the world stage.

As the final laps approached, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation. Yn could feel her heart racing in time with the countdown, the roar of the crowd a distant background to her single-minded focus. When she crossed the finish line, the realization took a moment to sink in. 

Her engineer’s voice broke through the adrenaline haze, congratulating her with uncontainable excitement. “Yn, you’ve finished P3! Amazing job!”

Overjoyed, Yn barely registered the rest of the world around her as she climbed out of the car. The buzz of the pit lane enveloped her, her team rushing to congratulate her, their faces beaming with pride. She thanked them, her voice shaky with emotion, but her joy turned to elation when she spotted Yuki.

Without thinking, she ran straight into his arms, and he spun them both around, laughter spilling from their lips. “You did it! I’m so proud of you!” he exclaimed, the joy evident in his eyes.

“I can’t believe it! Thank you for being such a great teammate!” Yn replied, her heart soaring as they embraced. This moment, so filled with raw emotion and camaraderie, was quickly captured by the ever-watchful cameras, fans, and reporters.

As they parted, Yuki beamed at her, his energy infectious. Then giving her a final encouraging pat on the back before she headed toward the cool-down room.

Back in the paddock, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement as footage of their spontaneous celebration spread like wildfire on social media. Fans captured the genuine connection between the two drivers, their laughter echoing through the comments sections.

“#YNYuki: The duo we didn’t know we needed!” one fan tweeted, accompanied by clips of their embrace.

“Can we talk about how supportive Yuki is? This is what we love to see!” another comment read, reflecting the admiration fans felt toward their bond.

As Yn prepared for her first podium appearance, she felt a mix of nerves and elation. The cameras were flashing, and the cheers of the crowd were a sweet symphony. She took a moment to collect her thoughts, reminding herself of the long journey that had led her here—the sacrifices, the struggles, the relentless hunger for success that had driven her forward.

When she stepped onto the podium, the weight of the trophy in her hands felt like the culmination of all her hard work. She stood tall, beaming at the crowd, soaking in the moment as the British national anthem played. Yuki stood in the crowd, his pride radiating, and as the winners lifted their trophies, Yn felt a sense of belonging wash over her.

This was her moment. Not just as a female driver in a male-dominated sport, but as a driver who had proven herself time and time again. The hunger for success had fueled her journey, and with Yuki by her side, she felt ready to face whatever came next. Together, they had carved out a space where they could thrive, and as the crowd cheered, Yn knew this was just the beginning of what they could achieve.

After Yn’s exhilarating P3 finish, the adrenaline from the race still coursed through her veins, but there was little time to bask in the glory. Media obligations awaited, a whirlwind of interviews, press conferences, and flashing cameras that always accompanied a podium finish. As she walked into the media center, her heart raced—not from the pressure of the spotlight, but from the sheer thrill of her achievement.

Surprisingly, the press conferences went smoothly. Journalists were eager to hear from her, and Yn found herself responding with a confidence she hadn’t anticipated. Questions ranged from her race strategy to her thoughts on the heat of Singapore, and each inquiry felt less like an interrogation and more like an opportunity to share her journey.

“Yn, what was going through your mind as you crossed the finish line?” one reporter asked, a genuine smile lighting up her face.

“I honestly couldn’t believe it!” she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. “I was just focused on giving it my all, and to end up on the podium? It’s a dream come true. I’ve worked so hard for this, and I couldn’t have done it without my amazing team.”

Throughout the press conferences, Yn noticed how the other drivers had rallied around her, offering their congratulations. Max, Lando, and even Charles made a point to praise her performance, their camaraderie palpable. Their kind words felt like validation, a warm reminder that while competition was fierce, the respect among drivers ran deep.

“Great drive out there, Yn!” Lando said, grinning widely as he shook her hand. “You made it look easy!”

“Thanks, Lando! You weren’t too shabby yourself,” she replied, her tone playful.

Afterward, she took a moment to step aside, pulling out her phone to call her parents. As it rang, she felt a wave of excitement wash over her. They had supported her from the very beginning, believing in her even when the world sometimes didn’t.

“Hey, Mom! Dad!” she exclaimed when her mother picked up. “You won’t believe it! I finished P3 in Singapore!”

There was a moment of silence before her mother’s delighted shriek filled the line. “Oh my goodness! Yn, that’s incredible! We are so proud of you!”

Her dad chimed in, “I knew you could do it! You’ve been working so hard, and it’s all paying off!”

The conversation was filled with laughter and tears of joy as Yn recounted the highlights of the race, the adrenaline, and the thrill of standing on the podium. She could picture their proud smiles, imagining her mother jumping up and down in excitement.

After hanging up, a sense of warmth enveloped her. With her family cheering her on from afar, she felt unstoppable. As the media obligations wrapped up, Yn rejoined Yuki and a few of the other drivers for a quiet celebration.

They headed to a local restaurant, the atmosphere buzzing with energy yet providing a cozy escape from the chaos of the race weekend. Yn found herself seated next to Yuki, who was still riding high on the adrenaline of the race.

“You were amazing out there, too,” she told him, raising her glass to toast their achievements. “P5 is no small feat in that heat.”

“Thanks,” Yuki replied, his smile genuine as he clinked his glass against hers. “But honestly, watching you up there on the podium—there’s no one more deserving. You’ve worked so hard, and I’m really proud of you.”

“You too! I couldn’t have asked for a better teammate,” she replied, feeling the bond between them deepen.

As the evening wore on, laughter filled the air. The group shared stories, exchanged playful jabs, and recounted their race strategies. Yn couldn’t remember the last time she’d felt so at ease—this was what she had longed for: a chance to celebrate her hard work with friends who understood the pressures of their world.

Social media buzzed with excitement, fans sharing clips and highlights from the day’s events, while hashtags like #YNOnThePodium and #TeamTsunoda trended. There was a sense of unity among the fans, a community that celebrated each driver’s achievements and supported them through the pressures of the sport.

As they settled into the rhythm of the night, Yn realized this was more than just a celebration of her P3 finish; it was a reminder of how far she had come. She had faced doubts and challenges, but with each race, she carved out a place for herself in a world that had often felt overwhelming. In a good way.

hi dream. it’s 😵‍💫. I see you’re a bit more active lately. how have you been? what’s happening in life for you? (if you’d like to share) I saw you said it’s Spring for you, that’s crazy. I have to remind myself that people live all over the country & world, the seasons are different lol.

any plans for Halloween ? I’m either going to dance or celebrate with my family. I can’t decide but the choices make me feel bitter sweet. it’s a great dance opportunity but I appreciate going trick or treating with my siblings because they’re growing up. one day they’ll be over it. :’) enjoying where we are. I’m hoping I can do both.

in the previous messages, you said “your hair is not ugly. it’s the way you perceive it” that makes sense. There are rare times when I love my hair in certain mirrors but every time I tried to take a selfie or saw it in a different mirror, it looked hideous (today it happened). with my looks as well, sometimes I look pretty. sometimes I don’t. I just saw a picture of me from last month and was surprised that I looked pretty? but then I saw myself in the mirror today and I immediately panicked. someone called me pretty today & I didn’t know how to feel. a part of me started to fight with myself “am I pretty or not? what are they seeing?” yesterday, someone called me cute & the only thing that went through my head is “that’s odd. what are they talking about?” I don’t know what they are seeing.

I was trying to figure out why it keeps happening everyday. why in the hell do I look different every day? what is going on with my perception? any tips on how to navigate through this? I used to think my features were a problem, but I don’t think so. I used to think it was my weight because I gained a few visible pounds. I don’t think my looks should depend on weight though……well, I think. my mom took pictures of me this weekend. the weight didn’t bother me. my stomach was even showing. it’s just some pics were cute, some looked terrible like another person (even in regular angles 😭). like wtf is going on? what do I really look like? 😔

hiiii 😵‍💫 anon <3

i've been well thanks~ actually, i've been really focused on organizing myself in a way that feels good and productive daily. i started working from home and actually, it was hard for a while to really be disciplined with myself hahahah but now i've got a swing of things and its really nice. ive been exploring new places, making new friends, and just trying my best to enjoy my time :') thanks for asking <3

i hope you can do both too! that would be such a darling halloween!🎃 hehe actually for the holiday, i'll be doing my usual tradition. eating pizza and sweets, passing out candy, and watching some of my favorite halloween movies <3 (specifically, halloween (1978) and hocus pocus~) for me these are the true halloween classics i've always watched with my family for many years!! up until then i'll be marathoning halloween dcoms. my partner has never seen any before, so i'm really excited to share that part of my childhood with them~

i think that really unstable perception of yourself is extremely normal!! it really goes back to have an unstable inner self as well. of course, some days you can look entirely different. honestly, you can even look different in the same day!! when we arent very stable in ourselves, our looks can shift and change constantly. ive truly experienced this myself, and its super trippy. more than anything, just keep practicing deciding how you want to feel about yourself, despite anything else!!

xo

Exploring the Simmosphere 🌎 (Mt. Komorebi, Summer) #2

⊶⊰Information⊱⊷ ⊶⊰From the Beginning⊱⊷ ⊶⊰Latest⊱⊷ ⊶⊰Index⊱⊷

----------------------⊶⊰🌎⊱⊷----------------------

Both boys had different ideas when viewing the graves lol Floyd is like me, wanting to take pictures of EVERYTHING. Meanwhile, Channing is more of a brain memory guy.

“Wait a minute, Channing.”

“Huh? What’s up?”

“I heard some locals talking before we started our hike.”

“Okay?”

“They were talking about how they witnessed the infamous Loch Ness monster during their hike!”

“…the Loch Ness monster?”

“Yup!”

“But… the Loch Ness monster is a sea monster.”

“So?”

“We’re nowhere near the sea… we’re in a forest.”

“…we should keep going! Don’t want to be out here when the sun falls.”

“Right… do you even know where you’re going?”

“…”

“We’re lost, aren’t we.”

“We’re not lost, we’re just… taking a detour.”

Channing snickered as he pulled out his phone, snapping a selfie with his brother in the background. “I’m going to title this, ‘My brother gets us lost during a hike but is too proud to admit it.'”

“You better not post that!”

“Do you have to take pictures of everything? This hike is taking forever…”

“You’ll thank me later when you’re too old to remember anything.”

“In that case, won’t you forget you have the pictures?”

“…”

They finally made it to the shrine! It’s quite beautiful to look at~ I just wish they could enter the cave behind it instead of just yelling into the void.

Another selfie for the album.

Since there are virtually NO collectibles around and we have no money, I sent Floyd fishing to try and get us some money. Channing was supposed to join him but he was too miserable because he had to pee and he was hungry.

Not sure what fishing has to do with being adventurous, but it’s the perfect trait for this world!

Since his brother fecked off, Floyd had to speak to strangers in order to get his social up.

Thankfully we live right next to a grill, so we can get hot dogs, the cheapest option, whenever we get hungry. Sometimes others come and grill, too, which is great.

Channing had to go and be a creeper with the principal, though… If you’re going to spy on someone, at least hide in a bush instead of standing right in front of them ;_;)

Lol the welcome wagon came down to the river to greet the twins. A celebrity offering us fruitcake? Who knew!

I can’t remember which interaction this was, but it was from his generous trait. These twins, I swear. One is out here spying on people and the other is making others sad lol

And picking on children omfg Floyd, control yourself! XD

Part of his aspiration is to collect a simmie. Honestly, I think I might try and complete that collection before we leave, but since the main way to get them is with money, it might not happen. We’ll see c:

Now we just have to wait for the festival to start and we can tick off two in one go!

[ciaossu-imagines]

For the mini event

Fandom: Ronin Warriors (fave characters Kento, Cy, Cale, Sehkmet, Rowen, but I am fine with any really so whatever works)

Au: Vampire (back up if vampires is taken Supernatural Detectives).

Vampires were not taken and I squealed when this initially came in, because I so love this fandom and adore working with anything to do with vampires! Thank you so much for sending this in and I hope you'll enjoy!

Okay, so setting up this AU…in this universe, I see Talpa as not only being a centuries old vampire, but the oldest existing vampire. Like, he got turned into a vampire when dinosaurs were roaming around the Earth, fed on cavemen sort of old. And he's the progenitor of all of the modern vampires. They were all sired by Talpa, including all the characters used in this AU. Talpa is father, sire, master.

Talpa really does raise his vampire children to believe they are superior to humanity, that human beings really are just food and does believe that vampires shouldn't have to hide, should have conquered the world instead of humanity. He encourages his vampire children to feast on whomever, and however many, people as they wish, to take whatever they want and for decades all of his sired vampires obeyed.

But that changed. A little nest of vampires broke off from their master and the rest of vampire-kind. These are, of course, what are canonically the Ronins. They all had sort of fallen in love with humanity and society somewhere along the way, and they found similar views in each other. They all decide to band together, to pull away from Talpa's influence and, instead of living with the other vampires, they make their own nest and decide to integrate themselves into society while hiding their vampiric nature. Instead of feeding from and killing humans, they search to find non-violent ways of feeding.

Of course, Talpa being Talpa, doesn't take this laying down. He sees it as a huge betrayal, as an insult, especially as I really see the Ronins having been among his favourite 'children', so he takes their pulling away from him as something too insulting to ignore. He sends another little nest of vampires, those that are the most brutal and the most loyal to Talpa, his other most favoured 'children' to really find these betrayers, to bring these 'wayward children' back into the fold and back under Talpa's command.

Just for anyone wondering, I also definitely set this AU in current-day settings, just because it amuses me greatly. There's these really old vampires, just emerging back into society, and having to deal with all these very new, complex things. Like, forget even just how technological this world has become and none of them even know how to use a computer, much less know what a cell phone actually really is or what apps are, but there's such an emphasis on social media and everyone has a camera. And even when they make friends and even if they get social media pages, there's always those friends who are like 'come on, take a selfie with me' or 'why do you never post pictures of yourself or any of your friends/roommates' and how do you really explain that, hey, I'm a vampire and thus don't show up in photographs? And of course, they get none of the slang, none of the fashion trends, etc.

And, to me, the way I would sit down and write this out as a story would really be a nice balance between just the fun little moments and the very character driven plotlines of all the members of this breakaway little nest just really learning both how to all live together in this new world, and how each individually learns to live in modern society, how they each learn how to explore the world of humans, how they find their own humanity and identities along the way, how they find relationships of all sorts and learn how to really love and feel and be as human as they can be, and the more plot driven storyline of them trying to live in the world with humans while Talpa and their vampire brethren are very driven to get them back into the fold, stopping at nothing (even murder) to succeed in that.

I'm just going to share some fun thoughts about the characters or some real strong plot lines I would be using in the story for some of the various characters, so I hope you'll enjoy!

Okay, so obviously this new break-away nest who decides to live with humanity, as mentioned consists of Ryo, Kento, Cye, Sage, and Rowen and I will get into some ideas I have for each of them in this AU a bit down below but I want to hit on some of the other very important characters before I do.

So, when the boys are struggling to find ways to still get the blood they need to survive, they try a wide variety of things. They do try getting blood from people seemingly willing to give it to them, live sources, but they find it too difficult to really control their hunger and in some really heart-breaking moments, they still end up draining and killing people. It makes them reconsider if they can do this, and it's really hard for them. They try animal blood and it does work in that it does keep them alive, but it makes them all really sick - the equivalent of a really, really nasty flu bug to humans, really. Diarrhea, vomiting, fever, chills. So animal blood does in a pinch, but they still need to see if there's a better way. Blood banks turn out to be a lot trickier to sneak into than they thought, even with their vampire attributes. It's actually Rowen who comes up with the thought but…does the blood need to come from a living person?

Enter Mia, who in this AU works as an embalmer in a huge funeral home for plot purposes. She stumbles across the nest trying out this new theory and yeah, she's absolutely astounded by what she sees. Like, why the fuck are these five teenage boys trying to hijack a corpse? Holy shit, is one of them biting the dead corpse? What the hell is going on?! She's terrified, initially really disgusted, horrified, all the adjectives. But she does come to understand and accept not only the boy's vampire natures, but what they're really struggling to find - a non-violent way of just surviving. When the boys find out that yes, the blood from corpses works better than animal blood, in that it allows them to stay alive and healthy, just with weaker vampire abilities than live victims, Mia really does help them out, at the risk of her job and very possibly a long jail sentence, by keeping them supplied with blood. She also becomes their first, and strongest friendship and really does help them with the initial integrating into society.

Another important character is actually going to be Yuli. Not that he'll be an incredibly major character, won't be a huge focus in the story, but he is definitely in there. He actually gets introduced in what I figure is actually going to be one of the most heart-breaking and angsty scenes in the entire story, happening fairly early on when the boys realize just the extent to which Talpa's missionaries will go to bring them back into the fold. Yuli's just a kid out at night to run to the corner store to buy milk for his mom. It's the first time he's been entrusted with such a big task and he's really excited about it. Too bad he gets stuck in between a fight between Sekhmet and one or two of the boys. A fight that really does end in Sekhmet completely draining Yuli and leaving the boy(s) with two impossibly difficult solutions - let the boy die right in front of them or turn him into a vampire, keeping him alive but ending his life in a different way. I do see the final decision being to turn Yuli, just because they really can't handle just letting him die in front of them, knowing it is all their fault he died, and part of the story is really the whole nest raising Yuli as this new, fledging vampire and teaching him how to control his hunger, control his powers, how to feed properly and without causing harm to others, etc.

Now, out of the nest that Talpa sends, the ones seemingly completely loyal to Talpa, I think, throughout the course of the story, we really see both Anubis and Lady Kayura go from blind obedience and loyalty to Talpa, see them go from brutal methods of getting the boys back into the fold and a complete disregard for humanity, viewing them as nothing more than cattle. I think it becomes just a little softening towards the boys, a little bit more holding back in their methods of convincing the boys. I think both vampires see the lives the boys build themselves, existing alongside humans and their disgust just kind of changes slowly to jealousy without them even fully being aware of when or why it started. All they know is that at some point, both Anubis and Kayura start seeing how happy the boys are living alongside humans and both start to want that happiness and to be pissed the boys have it and they don't. And, of course, they both eventually come around to breaking away from Talpa themselves. They don't join the boys nest, not right away, because the boys have a lot of misgivings and can't truly trust them right away, not after everything that has happened, but both of them start their own solitary journeys in integrating into humanity and along those journeys, the boys soften and do help both Anubis and Kayura out.

Do I see Anubis and Kayura being the only vampires of the nest Talpa sends to ultimately betray Talpa? Most definitely not. Sekhmet, Dais, and Kale all do eventually decide to embrace humanity, but unlike Anubis and Kayura, who I see embracing the boy's decision to not feed on live humans, I think when these three do decide to join the modern world and live fully beside humans, they still keep to feeding off living people, sometimes (oftentimes) killing them in the process but they find ways they can live with that decision. Kale, for example, feeds exclusively off very willing humans who almost beg him to do so and he feels no guilt about it. Dais feeds almost exclusively off criminals and feels no guilt about his decisions either, while Sekhmet tends to feed off the very ill and sickly or the very elderly, people he figures were going to die soon anyway.

And just because I really like the idea and trope of 'morality pets', I really do see Kale, Dais, and Sekhmet all gaining those throughout the story and those 'pets' being one of the largest reasons they do ultimately end up betraying Talpa.

Now, just maybe because it's a fun idea for me, but I see Kale discovering the 'vampire counterculture' type movement, a club or something dedicated to those who liked to play vampires or worshipped, in a way, the idea of vampires. He found it amusing, visited a few times, and even after Kale brutally showed them that he really and truly was the vampire they all dreamed about, these people still really threw themselves at him, adored him, worshipped him and wanted to be around him. He had found his place, with so many willing food sources, and at some point, I do think he stops seeing them solely as food and starts to actually grow some attachment to some of the members, even siring his own vampires, something that infuriated Talpa and Talpa's punishment of Kale for doing so is probably what drove Kale out of his loyalty to Talpa, though he was the last to leave his master.

Sehkmet? The idea probably makes no sense but I think, after the confrontation where Yuli was left for dead, Sehkmet sees Yuli's mother, frantic, searching everywhere for her child. And for some reason, it really does hit something in him. It's not exactly guilt he feels…not really. He's really not sane enough to have that traditional sense of guilt, definitely not at first. But there's something about the woman that just hits at him and he keeps an eye on her over the following days and weeks, learns she's a single mother (sorry, killed Yuli's dad off for plot purposes) and that Yuli is her only son. He watches her search, watches her cry, watches, some days, just every move she makes. And he starts going out of his way to spy on the peaceful nest and the boy he'd left for dead, now a vampire himself. And I think he works it out, and for once not because of the potential for mental torture, for Yuli's mother and Yuli to have to reunite. And it's really after seeing Yuli's mother really accept her son and what he's become that I feel Sehkmet starts to really discover the little fragments of humanity that are inside of him and really starts to reconsider if Talpa is right about everything.

I don't have a real strong idea as to Dais' morality pet, only the vague idea that I do see it being either a singular street kid or street person or a group of them, and that, whether it's one or many, they are mentally ill, maybe even that they have some substance abuse issues. And it's weird, because he should revile them, find them disgusting, but there's something in the unique way they all view the world, the way they continue to live and thrive without ever really giving up and just laying down and dying, how, even when he threatened them with certain death, they still fought that gained some amount of begrudging respect, really, from Dais. He starts to keep an eye on them, even if he doesn't always directly interact with them and it's through them that he starts to discover his own humanity.

Now, for some fun ideas with the boys. I see Ryo as the one really most socially awkward. He really does want to live among humans and really integrate into society, but he's not great with crowds or people in general. However, I see him discovering all the new high-tech cameras and such and really getting into that as a hobby, specializing in night-time photography and he starts to meet people through that. As he grows more comfortable making friends, he continues to take more small steps. With Rowen and Sage's help with forging the documents, he's the first of the guys to get a job, tipped off by one of his new friends that the local zoo was looking for someone to do overnight security.

Kento is the biggest social butterfly of the bunch. He really loves getting out and exploring, getting to know this new world they find themselves in. However, I think he has the worst time, out of all the boys, with learning how to handle technology. It's a good thing a lot of the interest he ends up bonding with humans over aren't really high-tech. He spends a lot of time at a 24-7 gym and makes a lot of friends there. He's also the biggest eater and I don't know why but I love the idea of him just using a bag of the blood Mia packages up for them as a juice-box. Does anyone else remember those little plastic bags of juice they used to hand out at school runs and such, where you just stuck the straw into the plastic bag? Exactly like that.

Cye ends up teaching late-night water aerobics classes and nothing can convince me otherwise. He actually gains a huge love for watching basketball, decides on a pro team, and watches every game. But the thing I really think gets him with the new world is that I do think he really does gain an appreciation and love for social media, particularly things that run more along the lines of art, aesthetics, and social justice. He really finds a lot of causes to support and makes friends pretty easily that way. He's also one of the main ones, among the boys, to really keep the nest stable and happy and together, even as they all get used to living with each other.

Rowen is just astounded by the fact that there's all these e-books and audiobooks, just available with an app or a steady internet connection. He gets the most into the fandom scene, just saying. He's also the one who manages to keep the boy's secret from all their new human friends, the one who manages to learn to forge all documents needed, how best to stay safe from the sun, how to keep Mia from getting caught helping them, to figure out how to really exist when it comes down to the nitty gritty. Sage really does help him out wherever possible too. I also strongly believe he joins an evening baseball league and the other boys go and watch his games whenever they can.

Okay but Sage becomes a huge fan, and later even a driver in, the local stockcar racing scene. Whenever the races fall in the evening, when the sun isn't up, Sage races for a company he'd seen advertising for a driver. He loves it and gains a pretty solid friend circle through it. Much like Rowen, the boys go and watch him race whenever they can.

His journey from teen idol to a mature artist has been nothing short of spectacular. On the other hand, Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin) has carved out her own space in the fashion world.

like i said. if you wanna suffer ill be happy to watch. but also the only thing i know about ff 15 is that one max0r video which while very funny is probably not 100% accurate to the story

now this is giving me too much power. I'll be happy (and sad) to oblige. And give you a quick overview.

and yeah i doubt that one video is a good description of it. so.

cracks fingers.

One of us is going to end up crying by the end of this. it's going to be me. but you're welcome to join me.

Final Fantasy 15 is the story of Noctis Lucis Caelum, crown prince of the kingdom of Lucis.

The Kingdom of Lucis is facing a crisis as the ever-growing Niflheim Empire is trying to expend and take the kingdom over, at the same time as a sickness called Starscrouge is slowly killing people. When the night falls, daemons come in the dark, and ever since those events have started happening, nights are growing longer in longer.

As the Empire of Niflheim is discussing peace treaty with the Kingdom, a clause is made on their contract to have Noctis marry Princess Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, who's been held captive by Niflheim for about a decade, and who has been Noctis's childhood friend and penpal. She is the Oracle, chosen by a prophecy to be the only person capable of healing the Starscrouge before the sickness takes hold.

King Regis decides to send his son to his marriage-to-be right before the peace treaty is officially signed, accompanied by his three most trusted friends - Ignis Scientia, who's been working as a royal advisor, cook, caretaker ever since they were children, Gladiolus Amicitia, who's been Noctis' bodyguard and royal trainer for a very long time, and Prompto Argentum, Noctis' school bestie who, despite having no relation to the royal family, is the only person outside of it Noctis managed to get close with.

But soon after their departure, the peace ceremony goes array- King Regis is murdered and the Kingdom of Lucis fall to the Empire, now leading a manhunt for Noctis to kill the royal lineage, and recover the Ring of Lucis, a powerful artefact carried through the family that, especially once coupled with the Magic Crystal that is the source of all magic in Lucis, can connect its wielder with the Kings of Old to access tremendous power left by the Gods.

See, there is a prophecy in the Lucis lineage that one day the One True King Of Light, chosen by the Gods, will be able to purge the world of the Starscrouge and Daemons, ending this curse at all cost. and, as you can imagine, this burden will fall on Noctis's shoulders as he goes through his new journey to awake the old gods and reunites the soul weapons of the previous Kings in order to unlock the full potential of his power.

The game mostly plays as an open world where you explore the valley with your besties. There is a lot that is very difficult to communicate that is just about how it feels like a camping simulator. You don't want to stay up at night for too long because Daemons are overleveled and bitch to kill, so you try to level up, do your missions, and enjoy your time connecting with your friends, learning more about them.

From Prompto's insecurities about his place in this journey, to Ignis's unwavering loyalty that would oversee Noctis's protection to the end, to Gladio devoting himself to being the shield even when everything starts to fall apart, you end up caring a lot for this group of misfits who are just trying to enjoy their journey knowing it might be their last.

You spend the game mostly having fun with them. Finding place to camp, new recipes for Ignis to cook, Prompto is constantly taking pictures and selfies to remember the journey by, you stop to every ponds to be sure Noctis can enjoy all of the fishing he can, you meet up with Gladio's little sister, it's really a really heartful game in ways that are very difficult to articulate.

... until shit hit the fan.

You're introduced to the real antagonist of the game, the Empire's chancelor, Ardyn Izunia, who's been pulling the strings all along, while also helping Noctis unlock the powers of the Gods.

And when finally it's time for you to go find Lunafreya for their wedding and hopefully linking the power of the Oracle to the King of Light in order to finally purge it all.....

Ardyn will brutally murder Lunafreya in front of Noctis, killing with her any possibility to stop the Starscrouge and the endless nights around the corner. The death itself is pretty heartbreaking, showcasing Noctis' very difficult time to deal with her loss, and Luna was defined by how she was willing to do everything to carry her duty to the end, so it was really sad.. but Luna was not very well written unfortunately (she appears maybe 15mins in the whole game up until this point) so i don't have as much to say about it :( it was super heartbreaking but yeah... yeah.

During this confrontation, Ignis will lose his eyes trying to protect Noctis, as Noctis was unconscious and Ignis grabbed the Ring of Lucis to ask for the powers of the Gods to protect him, and the Gods burn his eyes off. (it's so hard to properly explain but Ignis becoming blind ends up developping a lot of problems in the plot, of course, but especially in the gameplay. Like you spend the game having Ignis cook all sort of things and exitedly tell you about what he's going to cook today, and then your first campire after this incident you see the only food you can cook is some canned bean and it's just. so sudden in the way to tell you Ignis is changed for ever by it.)

Shortly afterward, Ardyn will create illusions that will push Noctis to push Prompto off from a moving train, resulting in Prompto getting kidnapped and experimented on by the Empire.

all while Gladio is losing his faith in Noctis because everyone is expecting so much from him, that they're their only hope, and yet Noctis is so lost in his grief that he doesn't focus on the bigger picture, while everyone he loves is losing everything around them.

When you finally decide to take down the Empire's HQ to get Prompto's back, is when a lot of truth starts to unravel.

You learn that Prompto is the clone of one of the highest funding members of the Empire, who was created to become one of the mindless drone enemies you fight the whole game, but has been smuggled out of the labs before he could be turned as such - only keeping a mark on his wrist reminding him of who he truly is. As much as Prompto always wanted to be Noctis' friend, he always feared that him being a clone, a failed weapon made by the enemies, would eventually disgust Noctis, and he feared all his life that Noctis would turn against him. so you can imagine the panic for Prompto when Noctis did attack him due to the illusions.

Most importantly though, you learn that Ardyn Izunia is actually Ardyn Lucis Caelum - one of the prince of Olds, the first person who was prophetized to be the King of Light. Bahamut himself, god of gods, gave him for missions to purge the Starscrouge, and Ardyn did just that, and took all of the Starscrouge in the world inside of his body, eradicating it from this world... and when he came to ask what he was supposed to do now, the Gods turned on him and left him to his fate, as he was not the one to actually serve to finish this prophecy. (if i recall correctly they legit say it wouldn't be narratively satisfying. Fuck the Gods, fuck Bahamut, all the homies hate Bahamut no matter the universe.)

Then, as the gods refused to clean him from the scrouge, his brothe, Somnus, tried to kill him before locking him into a magical prison and a magical slumber for the centuries that followed. Somnus became known as the Savior of Lucis, he took the credit for the actions of his brother, and build his kingdom on his ashes, continuing his royal line until Noctis' birth out of it.

When the Niflheim Empire started to come to power, they freed Ardyn, and figured out how to be able to use his power -- Ardyn could unlean the Starscrouge inside of him and have it spread into the world.... and we learn that people who "die" from the Starscrouge actually become Daemons, creature of the night, and the more people become Daemons, the longer the night will last.

And so Ardyn unleashed all of his power, all of his suffering, but himself has been turned into a Daemon at this point due to the sickness ravaging his body for centuries. He only feels pain, and he cannot die, for the sickness made him immortal. So while the Empire woke him up to use him, Ardyn decided instead to use the Empire to take revenge on the descendant of his brother, destroy the world he had sworn to save, and finally by the end, being killed by the True King of Light in the way the Gods will find narratively satisfying.

And finally, as our four companions are trying to escape the forteress, Noctis finds the Crystal, and with all the power he has gathered since then, and prompted by Ardyn telling him that the only way for him to know how to defeat him, Noctis approached it... and was taken in by the Crystal.

In there he met the Kings of Old who told him about the prophecy. The King of Light will pure the world of the Starscrouge and the Demons by taking out Ardyn for good.... but since Ardyn cannot die, his soul will always come back into his body, the King of Light must die as well in order to kill Ardyn's soul in the afterlife once its there.

Noctis therefore learns that by the end of his journey, the only thing that awaits is his own suicide in order to finally put Ardyn to rest.

The Crystal kept Noctis in it for about ten years. For ten years Noctis could do nothing but wait, as the Night fully took the lands over and destroyed everything. Only small camps here and there managed to survive and fight -- and his three friends have been trying to do their best for the people's survival, while being torn apart at the sudden loss of Noctis that day.

When Noctis finally returns, he can meet with his friends one last time. And tell them what awaits him.

For one last time you team up with your dearest friends, all of them having to be aware that they're walking you out so you can kill yourself to finally bring peace.

Before entering the final room to the final boss fight, Noctis turns to his friends, and ask Prompto to give him one of the pictures he took. You go through all the pictures you took as Prompto as you decide which picture Noctis will hold on in his last moments, holding on knowing they were the people who brought him on this journey to start with. In there Noctis will share his final words with them.

And finally you leave your friends behind. Finally it's time to fight Ardyn as he himself only awaits for death. Two dead men giving each other a last fight, two pawns by the prophecy made by the Gods, tool in a narrative that never saw them as humans, no matter how hard they clang to their humanity and to the people they loved.

One last final fight, finally killing Ardyn. And watching Noctis climbs on the throne of his father, and empale himself with all of the swords of the previous kings, in order to finish this fight in the afterlife.

And so the game ends. Ardyn is dead. The Starscrouge and Daemons are purged from this world. the Kingdom of Lucis can live on and see better days. And Noctis is dead as well, standing on the throne of his father.

In the last moments of the game you see him in the afterlife where he reunited with Lunafreya. He's holding the picture you picked in the previous scene. Looking over his friends one last time.

And then in case it's not enough you have the DLCs. Ardyn's DLC tell you more about how the Gods set them up for narrative satisfaction to start with. Then you have all three friends' DLC, set at points in game when you don't know what happened to them. But all of them ends with some final goodbye of some sort.

Gladio's DLC is the most underwhelming one in general so i don't really know what to say about it, and it doesn't really have a big payoff.

Prompto's show how he felt, abandonned in the snow when Noctis almost killed him. Having to wrestle with his existence as a clone, and figuring out if Noctis even wants him by his side. This DLC ends on a last conversation between Prompto and Noctis right before Noctis entered the crystal, in which Noctis tells Prompto he hopes he'll be by his side as he'll try to be a good king. Prompto promise he will be, always.

And then. Ignis' DLC. god that fucking DLC.

You really see the events in which Ignis stole the Ring to try to protect Noctis there, the event that rendered him blind. You see how much he fights out of devotion for Noctis. And you learn that when he put the ring on, the Kings of Old told him Noctis was going to die. Ignis spent his life protecting Noctis. In fact, you go through various flashback of their first meeting. Ignis has to learn that the kid he's protected his whole life, is going to die, and there's nothing he can do about it, because this is the fate that has been drawn on him.

On the first ending of the DLC, There is one last goodbye. Where Ignis wants to follow Noctis to the end and Noctis has to stop him, telling him that he wants him to live on.

(so that's the scene where i was crying so hard i ended up tripping in the stairs)

BUT THEN Ignis's DLC has an alternative ending. an ending where when Ignis hears the plans the Gods had planned for Noctis, he tells them, screw you. I'm never going to let it happen to him. I'll fight all of you if i have to and i'll save Noctis from this cruel fate you have planned.

And so in this ending, Ignis doesn't let Noctis walk into the Crystal and they work together, in an alternative way, until they can save him and put him on the throne.

and let me be clear: this ending is impossible by the game's lore. It's purely a fanservice fix-it ending, a what if, Ignis' ultimate proof of love that is enough to screw over the prophecy hundred of years in the making.

Where Ignis manages to save Noctis so Noctis can actually live on as the King he was raised to be. For ever at his side.

SO. WELL. WELL. I NEVER RECOVERED.

(and i am in fact crying as i'm writing all of this)

all of that while the main theme of the game is a Stand By Me cover by Florence + The Machine that will forever rip your heart and will leave you crying your eyes out as you finish this game, especially after the true ending, watching Noctis' die, and then hearing this fucking damn song.

Anyway i never fucking recovered from it. Like, never.

Like, even a summary doesn't do it justice. My first playthrough took me hundreds of hours. I spent hundred of hours with those kids. Enjoying their banters, seeing them protect each other, fight with one another. There's so much of their dynamic that is so deep into the gameplay, the way your companions will check on you during a fight, the moments they'll pause to have a high five, those moments of pure happiness where you know they're having fun by each other's side.

and Noctis being such a good character you really get to love and for what. And for what!!!!!!!! to get him killed by the end???? like for crying out loud. literally.

So yeah that's the speedrun of what FF15 is about. It's about tearing my heart out of my chest, that's what it is. (and others themes but you get my point)

Anyway. Yeah. Here you are. Here you know FF15's story.

and btw there was a little webseries set right before the event of the games, telling you how each of those friendships started. if you ever goot curious through reading all of this, i definitely recommend it. (the playlist is from newest to oldest though so be sure to watch on the right order)

was it worth it.

Dawnlands: A Game Review

Dev and Publisher: Seasun Games PTE. LTD

This game is beautiful, the world is vibrant and teeming with life. Though, I won't lie, the cover art gave me a Zelda feeling right off the bat. I never played the Zelda games, but I highly suspect the devs were inspired by Zelda and several other games. There's nothing wrong with that either, the game seems like an original enough concept. The characters are good though the dialog does get a bit long, especially when all you want to do is go out and explore. Overall the lore is pretty simple to follow along even if you rush through some of the dialog. You're fighting against some form of evil energy, and some of the fights can get pretty difficult.

Character creation is simple, you have a few things to choose from to make a unique person. One thing I was happy about when creating my person was they have black sclera's! Having the red eyes with the black sclera makes me so giddy that they actually thought about that feature - its basically my favorite eye type! Hair styles are fairly limited and simple as are the clothes. Make up is lacking but they do have some interesting features, like in the image below which gives me a sort of Viking feeling.

From what I gather is there are minor bosses and major bosses. I wish I would have thought enough to photograph them, but when you're panicking trying to kill a boss before it kills you, especially the first time, you aren't thinking about taking a picture. So far, the first minor and firs major bosses were both pretty challenging. I died once, but ended up killing them the second time. So they aren't so difficult that you're going to be spending a lot of time trying to get past, though for the first major boss I did spend some time getting more used to weapons, moving, and even found a nifty staff seen in the image below. I also just wanted to show off the amazing lighting of dusk as the sun sat behind me, and the fog masking the distant mountains.

I will admit, getting used to the controls was a bit of a learning curve. If you don't pay attention to the tutorials you will have a hard time but its not impossible to learn things on your own. The instructions are always available in case you do need to go back and read them which I am thankful for.

You get some daily quests from the people at the shelter, and they are pretty easy to accomplish and you get so many accomplishments and rewards - different dailies, different achievements, etc. It does have a bit of a gatcha element, but you are able to grind for most everything if you aren't wanting to pay IRL money. One example would be backpack extensions - they cost a bit of in-game gold, but you can buy them in the shop with IRL money if you want them faster, but its not hard to get the gold you need if youre doing the dailies, and doing the grind. This element make sense as the game is free-to-play, and it doesnt seem like they push that element on you. It's there if you know where to look, but over all, they keep pretty mum about it.

An aspect that I love about this game is that you can build your own house, if you have the materials to do so. You can also find empty houses dotted through out and just kind of move in, ultimately just residing closer to where you're needing to be and having safe houses throughout the lands. In the image above I'm sitting in front of a fireplace in one of the empty pre-made houses I chose to take over. It's worth it to go through these empty buildings as you can find pretty help items that you can't craft yet and you're able to use them right away. This is the house where I found the staff mentioned earlier.

There are so many beautiful spots to take creative selfies at. Sometimes the character is just posed so perfectly and some of the rocky areas look like robots. The image below, the rocky thing behind me definitely has some robot vibes. The game gives you so many amazing access points to get some really great shots, so if you're into taking cute screenshots, this is the game for you. To add a cherry on top, the game is co-op! It is split into servers which is categorized into countries - unfortunately you can only play with people who are using the same country server. So a person in the US can't hope on and play with someone in the UK, or Asia. But if you are playing with someone, you can take some cute pictures together I bet!

There are so many interesting areas to explore. The more you travel the more you'll see and it hasn't gotten boring for me yet. Theres so many unique structures that it draws you into the land, and make you question what certain things are for. Which make sense, because you are there to fill a prophecy in a land that you don't know. I won't go into any details, but it's a fun little time.

I am very interested to see where this game takes me. The map is huge and blank until you've explored it. I have not explored the full map yet but thats something that keeps the game exciting. You don't know where you're going to end up, or what other creatures you're going to find or what new resource you'll find.

There are aspects I don't like, which would be the farming mechanic. You can't farm right off the bat, and need to level up before you can. I haven't been able to plant a field for food yet. Also, having horses seem a bit glitchy. I have one horse, but somehow now have 2 identical horses - I have no idea where the other horse came from, but I know I have that one too. I'm afraid of taking the wrong horse out in fear I won't get it back, so, I'm constantly checking to make sure I have the correct horse by traveling a bit and having the horse teleport to me.

In all, I will probably give this a good 4 out of 5 bones. Its a great game, just a but buggy and I am hoping this is something they work on.

Pix Party CONS

The Tamagotchi Meet and On have been discontinued, and the Tamgotchi Smart is only in Japanese. The only options left are getting a classic re-release or the full color, backlit Tamagotchi Pix Party! It’s been nearly a decade since I got a new Tamagotchi so it was in order!

Well, I went ahead and got one, used but in perfect condition from Amazon. Most reviews of the Pix Party have already covered the basics, and my Amazon review of the Pix Party is actually favorable, but I want to rant about the cons.

The Pix Party is over $60-- maybe consider these cons before you buy a fresh new one.

1. Store items never change. There is no reason to be able to accrue more than 20,000 gotchi points but for some reason you can keep earning money and have absolutely nothing to buy. 

2. No marriage! Your tamas can’t meet other tamas and befriend them, get married and have babies. After about 7 or 8 days, your adult tama will get a random career (it seems independent of the training games you play beforehand) and return to the Tamagotchi planet. They choose a new egg for you and send it back. 

3. Your tama will leave without warning and you have to make a photo album. You must have 3 photos in it minimum or it won’t let you move forward.

4. The camera is terrible, utter trash. It has trouble picking up all colors except for red and defaults to grey for most other colors.

5. I had to get most of the items and accessories from forums online. The QR codes make it easy to obtain items but it would make more sense if items could be collected from the Store.

6. Speaking of the store--- all of the Outside locations have these unnecessarily long sequences of your tama, over and over again, walking there, stopping in front of the building, and having to endure a dialogue with an npc just to get to the menus. The NPC dialogues are not worth the time wasting because the store never updates.

7. The arcade is lackluster. Each day, 2 of 6 games from 3 categories (Leisure, Nature, Sport) will be available to play for the whole day. The max amount of gotchi points you can earn is 230. Some of the games require a swiping motion which is unreliable with the Pix touch buttons. The games hardly fit the aesthetics of the Tamagotchi Pix Party and look really basic; dull colors, bland backgrounds for the most part (in comparison to other full color Tamagotchis, not originals)

8. Backgrounds are great but the Store doesn’t offer matching furniture for any of the collectable room themes except for a select few, and those items had to be obtained from winning challenges on the Tamagotchi website, or snagging them from forums.

9. Back in the day, during the Tamagotchi Connection era, the official website was colorful, exciting and interactive. These days it’s in unimpressive blog format. Every now and again there will be a seasonal or occasional challenge (matching game or tedious, unwinnable slide puzzle) to obtain a new item (usually a food item). Te new site feels almost fake, like Bandai gave up on making the world and community of Tamagotchi immersive.

10. The explore feature allows you to meet random new tamas but you can’t play any games with them or do much besides the rare dialogue. New tamas will appear in the character database and then you can invite them to Parties and take pictures with them.

11. Once you create your user profile at the startup of the device, you never see those stats again. Neither your favorite color, food, item nor selfie. It’s 100% pointless but supposedly affects the types of tamas you can get. The only user stats you can see are your name and birthday and a useless text bubble that you can customize at any time.

12. You can’t name any of your tamas. This removes so much of the connection and immersion that the less advanced Tamagotchi Connection had. If you get identical tamas in a row, it feels really hollow and mechanical. Naming was 25% of the fun of having a Tamagotchi. What’s the point of having your username (permanent unless you reset the device) when it serves no purpose outside of connecting with other Pix devices, which will be rare because Tamagotchi users are rare, especially among adults?

13. The price of the device is worth it for the novelty factor but that dries up quickly after a while. By generation 5 you’ll have seen it all. The same ugly items in the Store. The same boring games. The price should be bumped down to $39, especially considering how much battery life the device absolutely devours if you dare to leave the sound on or use the almost essential camera.

Why Photo Booths Are the Ultimate Party Icebreaker

Corporate events are an excellent opportunity to foster team spirit, engage employees, and promote a company’s brand. These events are often filled with presentations, speeches, and formal networking opportunities, but one thing that consistently grabs attention and brings excitement to any corporate gathering is a photo booth. No longer just a fun novelty at parties, photo booths have evolved into a key element of corporate events, providing both entertainment and valuable branding opportunities.

In this blog, we’ll explore how photo booths can take your corporate events to the next level, helping improve team bonding and enhance branding efforts in the process.

Enhancing Team Bonding and Employee Engagement

At corporate events, one of the key goals is to foster stronger connections between employees and teams. Whether it’s a company-wide gathering, a team-building retreat, or a product launch, creating an environment where people feel comfortable and engaged is crucial. Photo booths offer a fantastic way to achieve this.

Employees, often in a more relaxed and informal setting, can let their guard down and bond with colleagues in a fun, creative environment. Photo booths encourage employees to step outside their usual roles and interact with different colleagues in a lighthearted manner. Whether it’s dressing up in silly props, taking goofy selfies, or participating in themed photo challenges, employees often feel more connected after sharing these moments together.

By incorporating photo booths into corporate events, businesses can break down barriers and strengthen relationships between teams, helping them work better together moving forward. The laughter and positive energy generated at the photo booth also boost employee morale, making everyone feel more engaged and appreciated.

Promoting Brand Identity and Visibility

In addition to fostering team bonding, photo booths offer a unique opportunity to promote your brand. In today’s fast-paced corporate world, it’s essential to incorporate brand identity into every aspect of an event. A photo booth can act as a branded experience, allowing you to showcase your company’s logo, color scheme, and message in a memorable and interactive way.

From custom photo booth backdrops to branded photo strips and props, the possibilities for incorporating your company’s branding are endless. Not only does this give employees something to remember the event by, but it also serves as a powerful marketing tool. Every time an employee or guest shares their photos on social media, your brand gets free exposure. As people post their pictures on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, they create organic buzz for your company, helping to increase brand visibility and engagement.

Incorporating your brand into the photo booth also allows you to connect with customers, clients, and partners who may attend the event. When these photos make their way to social media, they help spread awareness of your company’s values and culture, and the impact goes far beyond the event itself.

Creating Lasting Memories for Employees

Corporate events, especially annual gatherings or milestone celebrations, are memorable occasions that employees look forward to. What better way to make those memories last than by providing a keepsake for everyone to take home? Photo booths create tangible, personalized mementos that employees can cherish long after the event has ended.

Imagine employees walking away from a team-building day with a branded photo strip featuring their colleagues, a fun message, or a memorable moment from the event. These photos are more than just images; they are a reminder of a fun, rewarding experience and a celebration of the company culture.

Moreover, photo booths have an uncanny way of bringing out the best in people, often capturing candid, joyful moments that would otherwise go unnoticed. Whether it’s a group shot, a funny pose, or a serious team picture, these moments help employees remember not just the event itself, but the relationships they have with their colleagues, making the experience all the more meaningful.

Boosting Employee Morale and Creating a Fun Atmosphere

While corporate events are often packed with speeches, presentations, and discussions, it’s crucial to inject fun into the event to keep employees energized and engaged. Photo booths are one of the best ways to achieve this. By introducing an element of playfulness and creativity, photo booths provide a break from the formalities of the event and encourage employees to relax and have fun.

When employees have access to a photo booth, they’re not only entertained but also motivated to engage with their peers. The excitement surrounding the booth often spreads quickly throughout the event, inviting groups to gather, pose, and laugh together. These moments of joy create a sense of camaraderie, making employees feel appreciated and valued by the company.

The positive experiences employees have with the photo booth can extend beyond the event itself, contributing to improved workplace morale. When employees are happier and feel connected to their colleagues, it creates a more productive, positive work environment.

Interactive Social Media Engagement and Event Promotion

In today’s digital age, social media has become an essential tool for promoting corporate events and creating brand awareness. One of the most powerful features of a photo booth at a corporate event is the ability to integrate it with social media platforms.

Many modern photo booths offer features that allow event attendees to instantly share their photos on social media with custom hashtags, geotags, or branded filters. This not only increases the visibility of the event but also helps create a buzz around your brand. People love sharing fun, creative photos online, and by encouraging employees and guests to do so, you’re getting organic exposure in a way that traditional marketing can’t match.

The interactive nature of social media-driven photo booths allows your company to engage with employees, clients, and even the general public in real-time. As attendees post their photos online, they effectively become brand ambassadors, spreading positive word-of-mouth and reinforcing your company’s image as innovative and fun.

Easy Customization and Versatility

One of the most appealing aspects of photo booths at corporate events is the ability to customize them according to the event’s theme or your company’s branding. From corporate retreats and product launches to end-of-year parties, photo booths can be tailored to suit any occasion.

Customization options for the photo booth include:

Backdrops: Whether it’s a simple logo display, a creative scene, or a dynamic interactive backdrop, the booth’s design can align with your event’s overall aesthetic.

Props: Custom props related to your company’s culture or the theme of the event help spark creativity and make the photo-taking experience more fun.

Photo Strips: Incorporating your logo or brand colors into the photo strips allows attendees to take home a personalized reminder of the event.

Hashtags and Social Media Integration: Customize your event’s hashtags to encourage attendees to share their photos online.

Visit Website: Make Your Event Unforgettable

Whether you are planning a corporate gala, a conference, or a team-building retreat, a photo booth can enhance your event by fostering team spirit, promoting your brand, and creating lasting memories. The combination of fun, personalization, and branding makes photo booths an invaluable addition to any corporate event in today’s digital age.

How to Incorporate Technology into Event Decorations

Technology has become an integral part of our lives, and its influence is being felt in the world of event planning and decorations too. By incorporating technology into your event décor, you can elevate the experience for your guests, make the space more interactive, and leave a lasting impression. In this blog, we’ll explore various ways to seamlessly blend technology with event decorations to create stunning, memorable setups.

1. LED Lighting for Ambience

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood for any event. LED lights have revolutionized the way events are decorated. They are energy-efficient, customizable, and come in a wide range of colors and designs. You can use LED strips to light up pathways, walls, or stages, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Programmable LED lights can sync with music or change colors to match the event theme. For weddings or formal gatherings, warm white LEDs can add a touch of elegance, while vibrant colors work well for parties and corporate events.

2. Projection Mapping for Creative Displays

Projection mapping is one of the most innovative ways to incorporate technology into decorations. It transforms plain walls, ceilings, or floors into dynamic surfaces by projecting images, animations, or videos onto them. Imagine turning an ordinary wall into a cascading waterfall or a starry night sky, all through the magic of projection mapping. This technology is perfect for themed events, as it can bring your chosen theme to life in ways traditional decorations can’t achieve.

3. Interactive Touchscreens and Displays

Interactive touchscreens are a fantastic way to blend practicality with aesthetics. These displays can showcase event schedules, seating arrangements, or personalized messages. Guests can interact with them to find their table or learn more about the event agenda. Additionally, touchscreens can serve as interactive photo galleries or even digital guestbooks, allowing guests to leave messages or take virtual selfies.

4. Digital and Augmented Reality Photo Booths

Photo booths are always a hit at events, but a digital or augmented reality (AR) photo booth takes the experience to another level. Instead of traditional printed props, guests can choose from virtual props like hats, glasses, or costumes. They can take photos in a digital environment or themed backdrop that matches the event. Instant sharing options allow guests to upload their pictures to social media, further amplifying the event’s reach.

5. Holograms for a Futuristic Touch

Holographic displays add a futuristic and eye-catching element to any event. They can be used to project 3D images, such as brand logos, wedding initials, or even animated figures that seem to float in the air. Holograms are particularly popular for corporate events, tech expos, and innovative product launches. They create a sense of wonder and make the event truly memorable.

6. Drone Technology for Aerial Displays

Drones aren’t just for photography — they can also be part of your décor. For outdoor events, drones equipped with LED lights can create synchronized light shows, spelling out names or designs in the sky. Drones can also carry banners or deliver small items like flowers or party favors to guests, adding a touch of surprise and delight.

7. Smart Table Centerpieces

Modern table centerpieces are no longer limited to flowers or candles. Smart centerpieces, such as LED-lit floral arrangements or motion-sensitive decorations, can add a unique and interactive element to your tables. For instance, some centerpieces light up or change colors when someone sits at the table or claps their hands. These high-tech touches enhance the overall aesthetic and keep guests engaged.

8. Social Media Walls for Real-Time Engagement

Social media walls are both functional and decorative. These large digital screens display live posts, photos, and videos from the event’s hashtag or handle, creating an ever-changing and vibrant backdrop. Guests feel more connected when their contributions are displayed in real time, and it also encourages them to engage with the event on social platforms.

9. Virtual Reality (VR) Experiences

Virtual reality is an exciting addition to modern events. Set up VR booths where guests can immerse themselves in a virtual version of your theme or venue. For example, a VR experience at a wedding could allow guests to explore a virtual garden or a couple’s love story.

Why Use Technology in Decorations?

Incorporating technology into event decorations enhances the guest experience, makes the event more interactive, and often simplifies the planning process. While traditional décor adds beauty, technology adds functionality and a wow factor.

Conclusion

In today’s tech-savvy world, adding a technological edge to your event decorations can help you stand out. From LED lighting and projection mapping to drones and smart centerpieces, there are endless possibilities to explore. With a little creativity, you can combine technology with traditional elements to create a visually stunning and engaging event.

5 Hilariously Honest Reasons Why Collagen Injections Trump Creams

If Benjamin Button was more than just fiction, he’d probably prioritize his skincare. The good news is you don't need reverse-aging genes to stay youthful. The key? Collagen! But here looms the question: are injections or those chic creams more effective? Spoiler: injections steal the spotlight! Gear up because we’re about to uncover why collagen injections take the crown. Ready to get wrinkle-free with some knowledge?

1. Instant Gratification: Because Who Has Time to Wait?

Collagen Creams: Slow Like a Sloth 

Picture this: you’ve got a hot date in a week, and your skin is about as plump as a deflated balloon left out in the sun. You slather on some collagen cream and wait...and wait...and wait. By the time you start noticing any difference, your date is now your spouse with three kids, a dog, and a mortgage. Creams take eons to show visible results because the collagen molecules in them are usually too large to penetrate the skin effectively. Like trying to fit Shaquille O'Neal into a Smart Car, it just ain't happening quickly!

Collagen Injections: ZAP! Instant Youthfulness

Enter injection skin booster, the Usain Bolt of skincare. You get noticeable results almost immediately. It’s like upgrading from dial-up internet to fiber-optic speeds. BAM! Plumper cheeks, erased wrinkles, and instant youthfulness. Now you can strut into your date with confidence. Swipe right, world – you’re ready!

2. Deep Penetration: Going Where No Cream Has Gone Before.

Collagen Creams: Surface Level Snoopers

Collagen creams work on the epidermis, the very top layer of your skin. Imagine you’re icing a cake but only frosting the outer layer, while the inside remains untouched. That's literally what creams do. Sure, the outer layer feels soft and moist, but the deeper layers, where real aging takes place, remain like stale bread – untouched.

Collagen Injections: Deep Divers

Hyaluronic fillers, on the other hand, are like scuba divers exploring the Great Barrier Reef. They go deep into the dermis, the layer where collagen is actually needed. They restore your skin from within, making it plump, smooth, and hydrated. Think of it as giving your cake some extra love and cream filling. Deliciously effective!

3. No Greasy Mess: Because Slicked-Back Hair is NOT Your Look

Collagen Creams: Slippery Sloppiness

Ladies and gentlemen, let’s talk about that post-cream application dance. You smear it on, and lo and behold, everything you touch turns into a slippery slope. Want to scroll through Instagram? Forget about it. That phone's slipping away faster than your ex's excuses. Plus, greasy skin is NOT attractive in selfies or real life.

Collagen Injections: Clean and Pristine

Now, imagine getting all the benefits of collagen without any of the greasy aftermath. Skin booster injection are neat, clean, and precise. No mess, no fuss. It’s like the minimalistic chic version of skincare – all the benefits, none of the clutter. Your phone stays smear-free, and your selfies? Flawless!

4. Long-Lasting Effects: Because You’re Not About That Constant Reapplication Life

 Collagen Creams: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

The effects of collagen creams are as fleeting as your New Year's resolutions. They need constant reapplication and yet, the firmness and smoothness they claim to provide just don’t seem to stick around. Imagine filling your car with water, thinking it will run like petrol. Yeah, creams are kinda like that – momentarily refreshing but ultimately impractical.

Collagen Injections: Set It and Forget It

Collagen injections offer long-lasting results. Depending on the type and your body's absorption rate, effects can last for several months. It's like getting a premium oil change – you won't have to think about it for a while. Your skin remains fab, glowing, and youthful without all the daily hassle with this skin booster treatment. More time to do literally anything else!

5. Customization: Like a Skincare Buffet (Without the Calories)

Collagen Creams: One-Size-Fits-None

Collagen creams usually come with a ‘universal’ formula that claims to suit everyone. But we all know that's a blatant lie. It's like those free-size dresses that magically fit everyone but you. Why settle for generic when your skin deserves unique?

Collagen Injections: Tailored to You, Darling!

Enter the world of collagen injections, where skincare meets personalization. When you opt for injections, you get treatments tailored to your unique skin needs. A qualified professional can assess your skin’s condition and deliver collagen exactly where it’s needed. It's like having a tailor-made suit versus a one-size-fits-all jumpsuit. Whether it's fine lines around the eyes, deep wrinkles, or sagging cheeks, injections address your specific concerns with pinpoint precision.

Bonus Round: Cost vs. Benefit Smackdown

Collagen Creams: A Wallet-Draining Habit

Let’s not beat around the bush – quality collagen creams cost a pretty penny. And you’re not buying just one jar; you're in it for the long haul, meaning repeated purchases. Those dollars add up faster than you can say "skincare splurge." And for what? Marginal improvements that keep you coming back for more.

Collagen Injections: Initial Investment, Long-Term Gains

Sure, profhilo injections may seem pricier upfront, but think of it as an investment. The results last longer, meaning fewer treatments and long-term savings. Plus, the visible benefits far outweigh that of creams, offering you true value for money. It’s like comparing fast fashion with a timeless, durable designer piece.

Wrapping It Up

So there you have it, folks! When it comes to the ultimate showdown between collagen injections and creams, injections clearly take the crown. They're quicker, deeper-acting, cleaner, longer-lasting, and far more customizable. Injections aren't just a cosmetic treatment; they're a lifestyle upgrade. Say goodbye to endless reapplications, greasy aftermaths, and diluted results. Say hello to a confident, youthful you!

So the next time you find yourself in the beauty aisle, eyeing that expensive collagen cream, remember this: you could be one magical prick away from fabulous, ageless skin. Now go ahead and book that appointment. Your skin will thank you, and so will your Instagram followers.

Isn’t it time to ditch the smear and embrace the spear? Give collagen injections a shot, and watch your skin step up its game while you sit back and bask in the glow of instant, long-lasting beauty. Cheers to needles, not creams – because when it comes to anti-aging, it’s all about precision, darling!
