Allow me to give a tutorial on how to draw Yasha. First, in your minds eye picture Yasha. Her hair, whichever outfit you are decidedly doing, her stature, her height, etc. Got a good idea? Awesome. Now make her taller and more muscular. And that's how you draw Yasha.

Another Level: Installment Masterlist

Series Summary:

“You’re a Zenin.” More like an unwanted mistake. Which, funny enough, had actually been the first words she ever heard her father say to her. - Kurisaki Rinko was born an unwanted bastard child to the Zenin clan, having since grown into an unwanted bastard adult. Her stubborn refusal to be discarded resulted in a display of strength that many would call (they had, many times to her face, in fact) an unhinged lack of self-preservation. But lucky for her, that unhinged display caught the attention of a particular blue-eyed menace who happens to be more fun to rile up than anyone she’s ever met. - A collection of snapshots into Rinko’s life getting under Gojo’s skin and both of them enjoying every moment of it. - Gojo can be surprisingly soft sometimes* - They both really need a hug, so why don’t they just hug each other *Originally posted on AO3 💕

Who do you think is phisically stronger? Amy or Shadow? I know Shadow is very powerfull with all his Chaos Attacks but what if they have a sparing match with no powers outside the strength of their muscles? I think Amy can keep up with him, maybe even better than Sonic

(I have another ask similar to this, but I’m tackling them separately because the other one is An Undertaking.)

In a strictly physical fight, I’d give the edge to Shadow. Super speed is an absurdly broken ability. Amy’s strong as hell, but strength doesn’t matter if you can’t land a hit. Just ask Knuckles:

Sonic X episode 56 [source]

We have actually seen Shadow and Amy fight before if you count the Archie comics, and it didn’t end well for Amy.

Archie Sonic Universe issue 22, page 20 [source]

Ouch :(

In his defense, she did strike first 11 pages earlier, and he probably wasn’t in any hurry to get clobbered again. Still not his finest moment, but at least he had the decency to look regretful afterward:

And Shadow. SHADOW.

Archie Sonic Universe issue 22, page 21 [source]

That’s not how you carry your future wife, dammit! She’s not a sack of potatoes! Even Sonic’s better at this. Someone teach this boy some manners. And I guess it runs in the family, too, because Silver isn’t much better:

IDW Sonic issue 59, page 6 [source]

How did Blaze wind up upside-down?! He’s carrying Amy just fine! 

Anyway, while it’s true that Shadow used his Chaos powers in that Archie fight, I don’t even think it would’ve made a difference if he didn’t. He’s just too fast. He wasn’t even teleporting when he grabbed her hammer.

Amy’s way more of a threat these days, but she’s leveled up in power, not speed. She still needs help to get anywhere in a hurry:

IDW Sonic issue 2, page 15 [source]

So unless we’re assuming all of Shadow’s speed comes from Chaos energy, which is a stretch, she couldn’t land a hit on him. And while we’re at it, summoning a giant hammer out of thin air is probably Chaos energy, too, and she’s not getting anywhere without the hammer.

Oddly enough, I actually think she’d have a better chance if they were allowed to use Chaos powers. This post is evidence enough. In short: she counters his Chaos Spears with Storming Heart, she can stop time longer than he can, AND she needs only half the rings he does to pull it off. Rose Typhoon matches Chaos Blast, too.

Most importantly, though, she can turn invisible to render Chaos Control useless. Shadow relies heavily on teleportation to control the battlefield and take enemies off guard, as shown above, but you can’t sneak up on something you can’t find, no matter how fast you are. Anyone who’s played Sonic Heroes knows that when you turn invisible as Espio, your teammates will awkwardly freeze in place until you’re visible again because they don’t know where you are. If you try it in a team battle, your opponent will just start running around in circles, as if they’re a frightened rabbit stuck on a loop of “WHAT DO I DO, WHAT DO I DO, WHAT DO I DO--” And guess what? Shadow is no exception! Proof:

It’s literally just this:

Gaze upon your precious Ultimate Lifeform now. Useless! For shame! Are you not entertained?! And it’s not just bad AI from an old game that proves this. Shadow relies heavily on being able to see his foes. He consistently struggles against trickery. That’s how Infinite got the jump on him.

Amy can’t stay invisible as long as Espio can, but she wouldn’t have to. She’d have plenty of time to take Shadow by surprise. With modern!Amy’s obscenely high damage output, she’d demolish him before he could even think of striking back.

Amy in 2009:

Archie Sonic Universe issue 22, page 9 [source]

Amy now:

IDW issue 2, page 7 [source]

Sonic Frontiers Prologue: Convergence, page 4 [source]

IDW Sonic issue 58, pages 19-20 [source]

He’d probably think it was beautiful...if he lived.

So there you have it. Sonic and Shadow ultimately just stalemate each other, but if Amy were given access to all her OP abilities--ALL of them--and a little luck, I think she could potentially take Shadow out. It also helps that she never really uses her more broken skills. He’s never seen her invisibility, for example. If he takes the same approach he took in Archie, he wouldn’t start out fighting at full strength like he does against someone like Sonic. Say what you like about the Archie fight, but he was fairly merciful--for him, at least--toward Amy. If he tried that now, it would be over before he even knew what he was up against.

Will it ever happen in canon? Nah, but that’s what this blog is for!

the american dream is killing me - masterlist

character intro post is here, but i'm just gonna paste the same information into this lmao

basic worldbuilding summary: Generic Corporate Dystopia Hellworld. characters live in a massive builtup urban sprawl with different sectors more or less owned by various companies. you get basically one choice in life and it's choosing who to sell your soul to. some of these places are worse than others... or at least bad in more interesting ways

title is a placeholder (unless i end up liking it)- it's a reference to the green day song of the same name :)

rest of the info is under the cut!

milo - they/them

the unfortunate protagonist (?). coren's childhood best friend. tried to go undercover with them to find a way to break out of the system but ended up getting sucked in and is now firmly trapped, being slowly ground down by monotony and loneliness. strength: resilience, for better or for worse. weakness: has not slept in like a week.

coren - they/it

milo's childhood best friend! was determined to find a way to rebel and get free. unfortunately the company they chose to go undercover at was doing some interesting experiments and they happened to present an excellent target for guinea pig. they are essentially brainwashed, although it's mostly a matter of induced amnesia and has to be reinforced regularly. they work in employee retention, aka "chasing down anyone who tries to escape and dragging them back". they think this is very fun and they're having a great time :) as long as they can't feel pain. strength: resistance to any level of violence. weakness: crumbles when treated with any kind of gentleness.

ray - he/she

works for the same place milo does. never had any aspirations to get crushed, really, so she's doing just fine. never had any heart to get broken or any willpower to get crushed, so he hasn't lost anything. she has put everything into being the best she can possibly be in hopes of attaining a reward. what the reward is he doesn't know. strength: secret talent for piano. weakness: touch starvation and protestant guilt.

UPIS GVT sweeps Ateneo GVT, 3-0

The UPIS Girls’ Volleyball Team (UPIS GVT) overpowered the Ateneo Blue Eagles with a commanding 3-0 sweep, securing straight-set victories of 25-17, 25-13, and 25-9, on September 22 at Paco Arena in the UAAP Season 87 Girls' Volleyball Tournament.

In the first set, Ateneo struggled with numerous errors including attack errors, net touches, throw violations, and service errors, giving away ten free points to UPIS. Team Captain Janella Guarino led the Junior Maroons, tallying a total of five attack points. UPIS also dominated the service line, with four aces—two of which came from Elisha Capus. Despite Ateneo’s outstanding blocks, they could not defend against UPIS’s relentless offense, leading the game to end at a 25-17 in favor of the Junior Maroons.

UPIS continued their control in the second set, riding on a wave of service aces from Khloe Long, Anya Callo, and Nina Abad. Junior Maroon Natalie Cuervo spiked powerful attacks which the Blue Eagles failed to receive properly. Moreover, Ateneo continued to struggle with errors, despite efforts from Rian Ardidon and Althaea Ramos, whose powerful attacks and blocks tried to keep the Eagles in the game. With UPIS already leading 16-6, Ateneo struggled to keep up, especially after the forced substitution due to the injury of player Louise Anne Atienza. The Blue Eagles gave away 12 points through errors and were unable to defend against the Junior Maroons’ consistent attacks, ending the set at 25-13.

UPIS carried their momentum into the final set, serving a total of seven aces and landing nine attacks. Ateneo’s frustration showed, as their attacks repeatedly landed outside the court. Some of the attacks also failed to travel over the side of UPIS as there were numerous failed spikes from the Blue Eagles. Despite a service ace from Ateneo’s player, Nicola Frances Ladignon, and the efforts of Rian Ardidon, the widening gap—20-8—proved to be too hard to catch up to. Junior Maroon Mira Leaño ended the game with a twice-in-a-row service ace, giving UPIS the triumph of a 25-9 victory.

Janella Guarino was named MVP of the match, finishing with a total of ten attack points. Guarino thanked her teammates saying that if not for the team’s efforts, she would not have been able to perform well in the game. Guarino added, “Hindi naman importante na [Most Valuable Player] of the game; what mattered the most to me was that we won and everyone saw what we were capable of. Overall very happy lang na we got a win.”

According to Head Coach Jarold Hubalde, the key factors that led to the success of the team were the players’ perseverance and determination to win the game. “I always reiterate to them the importance of mental preparedness and positive outlook,” he added. 

Guarino thanked their coaches for creating a new program that helped them win. “Kasama na rin na new system na kami ngayon and the system we have right now is way better than before talaga and we thank Coach Jarod, Coach Hans, and Coach Andre for that,” she acknowledged. 

Guarino added that Head Coach Hubalde introduced a new systematic way of scouting that helped them better understand their opponents strategies and tendencies.

“We usually have the session on scouting both as a team and individual, teaching them how to analyze each position/rotation, identifying the significant implications on the team and a concrete solution,” Coach Hubalde said.

On the team’s challenges, Guarino highlighted their lack of maturity due to being of a younger age than other teams. She said, “We tend to get emotional during games, especially when errors start piling up.” However, she remained positive, stating that it is no excuse to quit and to back down to high-level opponents.

This win was also a great way for them to assess their strength as a team and as individuals. However, she stayed humble regarding their win as they still have upcoming games. “The win is something for us na we can bring moving forward this season,” she stated. 

“Coming from a 0-12 last season, this will definitely serve as a morale booster for the team. Looking ahead of their (sic) mindset and cohesiveness as a team, these bunch of individuals will surely reach their goals in the near future,” Coach Hubalde encouragingly added.

This win against Ateneo serves as a big stepping stone for the UPIS Girls’ Volleyball Team, providing them with a better understanding of each other and an opportunity to adjust their strategies for their succeeding games in the first round of the season, which took place on September 28, October 2, October 5, and October 9.

[featherxs]

been thinking about asuka ren a normal healthy amount ever since she debuted in webtoon and now i realize tumblr is better for compiling all my thoughts on her. so here… are some thoughts, for sure!

first of all… we know so little about her :( the main things are basically: japanese mangaka, creator of peace land, and was present in the group regression in epilogue. mostly she serves as hsy’s foil throughout the peace land arc, and she briefly shows up during the enemy of the story scenario to support kimcom.

but there are a lot of small details that add up to her character, in my opinion… for example, her constellation sponsor is “master of the niten ichi-ryu,” who cannot be anyone but miyamoto musashi himself. this is kind of funny considering how she is unfortunately a wet sock for most of peace land arc except for that scene (…where she doesn’t even use a sword!). what’s even funnier, though, is that miyamoto apparently did ink paintings as well. sometimes i think singshong just gave asuka some random big-name japanese sponsor to cement her status as a leader among them, and sometimes i think about this coincidence. because… is it?! (incidentally, she is mentioned to have/use a katana, but it isn’t specified if she has two. tsk… what’s your dual blades stigma for if you’re not gonna use it, girl?) in addition, her physique and strength were both level 55 during peace land arc, which were pretty high when you compare it to michio’s mid-20 stats. a twitter user got the idea of her being from a family that runs a kendo or judo gym and was going to inherit the dojo someday before she declared she’d become a mangaka, and i haven’t stopped thinking about it ever since.

as for her personality… well, we’re told she’s a leader among the japanese incarnations, but… honestly, does she act like a leader to you…? from what we see of her in peace land, she can be cowardly, easily shaken or attacked, and she put the small people’s lives over her companions’… in short, she’s a little bit pathetic (fond). but then again, that was in peace land, so i guess you can’t blame a girl for being a little shaken up after being confronted with choosing between killing her friends or killing her creations. but we also see her argue with hsy a little over clichés and tropes, and we also see how she spoke out against yamamoto when he declared he’d kill the small people, so that adds up to her being decisive and true to her morals. (also, tangentially related, she calls michio by his first name without honorifics, which is as intimate as you can get. this is cute, personally, because in the ebook he mentions he was a college student before the scenarios, so he could be anywhere from 18-22+ years old, while asuka… is 31. that’s, like, her little brother.)

definitely the most interesting part about her is peace land and her relationship with it, though. because, of course, a creator must have a relationship with their creations! she must have resented her work at some point because of all the critique it got and how it ended up getting canceled so early in its serialization… i wonder how long ago was that before the events of orv, if peace land was her debut manga or her most recent work. if it was somewhere in the middle, then i want to know if she went back to making mainstream content after peace land’s failure just to earn money and if she resented that, too, or if she was prideful enough to try and make more unorthodox manga like it but kept getting shot down anyway. did she lose confidence in her craft… could she no longer find the same joy in creating no matter what she made…

then when tls123 apparently contacted her about it — how cruel must it have been to unknowingly have let someone borrow your setting, thinking your words may have finally reached someone, only to later find out the characters and setting you had put your heart into were turned into cannon fodder for your colleagues. to destroy your own work in order to move forward… what if she considered it for just a moment… after all, if anyone had the right to decide what happened to these people’s lives, it should be her, the one who made them in the first place. but after seeing them with her own eyes, in that panel where the small people are looking up at her, it must have really cemented her decision then. to them, she’s just another disaster here to kill them, but they don’t know she’s technically their god… (maybe that’s also partly why she seemed so agitated when questioning how hsy won over the people’s loyalty so quickly, because who is she to them?)… they don’t know she must have really loved them as she wrote their story. and even if they knew, maybe they would only resent her for bringing this torture upon them anyway… the guilt and resentment and frustration of a failed work but still, still that creator’s love and pride throughout it all. because after all, a writer truly can’t help but love what she has created…

i never really thought about asuka beyond a really stupid fic idea i had for her and hsy, but seeing her in webtoon following the ebook’s revisions really made me appreciate her character more. her feelings towards her work are so complex, even if we don’t see a lot of it, and even worse is that she forgets all about making peace land in the end. she doesn’t just become a character in a bigger story: her narrative has also completely escaped her hands now. but in a way, maybe she’d be happy to know they’re separate from her as she is separate from them, because that means they’re moving forward in their own world line… and not bound by such mortal restraints as the manga serialization being canceled.

man this got long, and this doesn’t even include all the delusions i have for asuka/michio and asuka/izumi. well then, my final message:

The Escape - Part 36

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7 - Part 8 - Part 9 - Part 10 - Part 11 - Part 12 - Part 13 - Part 14 - Part 15 - Part 16 - Part 17 - Part 18 - Part 19 - Part 20 - Part 21 - Part 22 - Part 23 - Part 24 - Part 25 - Part 26 - Part 27 - Part 28 - Part 29 - Part 30 - Part 31 - Part 32 - Part 33 - Part 34 - Part 35

As you wake up from another slumber, you notice a tray of soup and bread placed beside your bed. Hunger suddenly surges through you, and you sit up slowly, beginning to sip the soup. It's one of the most delicious meals you've had in a while, and to your surprise, it's still warm. You savor each spoonful of this heaven-like meal.

Shortly after finishing the soup, the cook, Sanji, enters the room to check on you. He rushes over eagerly, addressing you with a touch of chivalry that you can't quite decipher—whether it's a playful act or a genuine aspect of his character.

"Y/n-swaaaan, did you enjoy the soup I just made for you?" he asks, his enthusiasm palpable. You hand him the tray, and as your fingers accidentally brush against his, you notice a hint of melting in his expression. Compared to the other men you've encountered on the Grand Line, at least he doesn't hold back his feelings, which adds a certain charm to his demeanor.

"It was wonderful, thank you so much!" you reply gratefully. Amusement dances in your eyes as he bombards you with offers. "Can I get you anything else, my dear? Coffee? Tea? More soup? Perhaps a healing and reassuring embrace?"

You laugh, realizing that if you were to accept any further offers, you'd need to send him off to fetch some coffee to avoid eventually landing in his arms. He appears content with simply being able to do anything for you, and he practically floats upstairs to fulfill your heart's desires. You find solace in this unconditional kindness, a gesture you hadn't encountered for a while on the Grand Line. 

After several days of enjoying Sanji's delicious cooking and receiving excellent care from Chopper, your strength returns, and the swelling on your hip nearly vanishes. Stepping onto the deck, you finally meet the rest of Luffy's crew. Zoro, the always sleepy swordsman, catches your eye, while Usopp, the skilled sniper with an exaggerated nose and inflated ego, stands nearby. You also have the opportunity to meet with Nami again, confirming your suspicion that she had been the one to notice your distress and discover your note.

"As soon as we had proof that you needed help, I asked these two monsters to bring you back," Nami shares, smiling as if it were the most natural thing in the world. In that moment, you feel an overwhelming desire to hug her, but you understand that your friendship is not yet at a point where such displays can be shown publicly.

Luffy descends from the ship's second level, casually draping his arm around your shoulder in an intimate gesture. You can't help but feel relieved that it was Luffy who found you.

"So, I heard we're going to beat up a clown again?" Zoro remarks from his seated position near the mast.

"No," you reply quietly, a determined glint in your eyes. "I will be the one to take down the clown. You all just sit back and watch."

After several days of sailing and following the logpose you reach another island which looks deserted but at least not as hot and dry as Alabasta. Nami decides to take a stop at the island until the logpose is stored again, also trying to encourage everyone to come up with a plan to find the Buggy pirates. “We cannot continue our adventure on the Grand Line before Y/n didn't have her revenge!” Usopp shouts, he had completely taken your side after he learned that you were not only a fellow pirate but a strong fighter as well.

“Don't you think we can somehow lure Buggy to this island and beat him up here?” Sanji asks. “We don't even know how to reach him..”, Nami remarks. “I know he has a transponder snail.”, you look at your friends hoping this new knowledge about the clown pirate would help to find a feasible solution. 

“We can also just wait here and hope he eventually comes to get you.” Luffy laughs.

“I am sure Crocodile has informed him that you have escaped. If it is true what you said about them seeming to be friends Buggy might be already on his way to get you back.”

"Why would he...?" you begin to question, your shoulders slumping. Deep down, a part of you still yearns for Buggy to come for you, to rescue you, to engage in a fierce battle, even if it means being abducted again. It's difficult to fathom that, in your own despair and longing for his attention, any scenario could satisfy you at this point. Nami senses your conflicting emotions and the sadness in your voice. She reaches out to you, attempting to offer solace and lift your spirits. "Y/n, I'm sure he'll come for you. After evading Crocodile, he now has the chance to claim your bounty."

As Nami's words sink in, a mixture of emotions swirls within you. Her attempt to offer encouragement and lift your spirits is evident, but the underlying truth hits you with a wave of sadness. Buggy's perception of you solely as a bounty, a means to claim rewards, weighs heavily on your heart.

Transiting Venus enters Scorpio

Monday, December 4 - Friday, December 29, 2023

This isn’t always Venus’ favorite sign to travel through - as Scorpio is opposite Taurus, a sign Venus rules, she’s said to be in detriment while she’s so placed. This doesn’t have to be doomed, though. Sometimes being on someone else’s turf, and having to follow their rules, can help a planet find strengths it otherwise would never know.

Venus is typically all about calming down - but Venus/Scorpio is intense. Superficial prettiness doesn’t cut it any more. We prefer authenticity over politeness, the honest truth over manners and civility. We’re ready for something deeper and more meaningful, now.

How this can play out in Venus’ areas:

Art - this is not a placement that can countenance, in any way, art that is not “deeply meaningful.” (Save the poker-playing dog paintings for Venus in Sagittarius!) We sometimes go for the more shocking works, just to see how other people react.

Beauty - sexy, of course, but not (always) in a blatant or flashy way. We appreciate inuendo and suggestion, more than an in-your-face approach.

Love - ‘til death do us part - and the inevitable riposte “that can be arranged.” We are emotionally and intellectually faithful, if not always physically so. We’d kill for our loved ones - how about we try to work it so we don’t have to?

Money - can be very much a tightwad, saving up for that proverbial rainy day. Can also blow through fortunes in an attempt to finagle its own way.

Venus has a good mix of easy and difficult aspects, this month. I kept flashing on “squabbling over how to ‘do’ The Holidays,” as a way this will manifest for many of us. Allow a day’s leeway on either side:

Tuesday, December 5 - Venus/Scorpio trine Saturn/Pisces, 1°22’. We’re starting out with good, serious, ambitious intentions, anyway.

Wednesday, December 6 - Venus/Scorpio (2°00’) semi-square Juno/Virgo (17°00’). Maybe the first squabble, ending in something of a stalemate - we may want to push for a temporary truce before deciding anything.

Thursday, December 7 - Venus/Scorpio trine Vesta Rx/Cancer, 3°14’. Really good for focusing on the arts and creativity. Also has a sexy vibe.

Some risk of excess over Saturday, December 9:

Venus/Scorpio opposite Jupiter Rx/Taurus, 6°20’

Venus/Scorpio semi-sextile Ceres/Sagittarius, 6°21’

We really want The Holidays to happen in a certain way - maybe we’re aiming at a particular level of the lavishness of bygone times. We may be pretty willfull about it, and so may our partners and loved ones.

Monday, December 11 - Venus/Scorpio sextile Mercury/Capricorn, 8°17’. Temporary truce? We can easily communicate today, and people are willing to hear us out.

Tuesday, December 12 - Venus/Scorpio (9°54’) sesquisquare Neptune Rx/Pisces (24°54’). This is another “overdoing” it aspect, except it’s water signs and what we’re overdoing has serious emotional components. Calm down and be patient - respect other people’s boundaries, as you would have them respect yours.

Wednesday, December 13 - Venus/Scorpio conjunct Pallas Athene/Scorpio, 10°09’. Another excellent day for arts and creativity - we may take on a big creative project.

An uncomfortable Sunday, December 17:

Venus/Scorpio inconjunct Chiron Rx/Aries, 15°29’

Venus/Scorpio (15°38’) sesquisquare Vesta Rx/Cancer (0°38’)

These aren’t major aspects, and they aren’t with the “traditional planets” - nevertheless we need to be sensitive to hurt feelings.

Then a couple days of ick, Wednesday, December 20 - Thursday, December 21:

Venus/Scorpio (18°42’) semi-square Mercury Rx/Capricorn (3°42’)

Venus/Scorpio semi-sextile Mars/Sagittarius, 19°02’

Venus/Scorpio opposite Uranus Rx/Taurus, 19°39’

Venus/Scorpio sextile Juno/Virgo, 20°01’

Some minor quarrel or miscommunication may blossom into something HUGE - take the highest road you can.

Friday, December 22 - Venus/Scorpio inconjunct North Node/Aries, semi-sextile South Node/Libra, 21°22’. Bad timing; we aren’t happy about having to adjust to something. A few of us may begin to recognize the perils of “going along to get along.”

Sunday, December 24 - Venus/Scorpio inconjunct Eris Rx/Aries, 24°21’. This has a “procrastination” feel to it, mostly “if you’ve put off getting ready until the last minute, this will be a difficult day to navigate.”

Monday, December 25 - Venus/Scorpio trine Neptune/Pisces, 24°59’. Nice, reflective, and spiritual. “All is calm, all is bright.” We’re able to forgive and to bless.

Tuesday, December 26 - Venus/Scorpio semi-sextile Mercury Rx/Sagittarius, 25°24’. Niggling idea time; maybe some present we ordered weeks ago, finally puts in an appearance!

Wednesday, December 27 - Venus/Scorpio inconjunct Vesta Rx/Gemini, 27°57’. Inability to focus, also (weirdly enough) promiscuity. Probably for most of us, we “just” feel a bit off or under the weather.

Thursday, December 28 - Venus/Scorpio sextile Pluto/Capricorn, 29°16’. An opportunity to come to terms with the past month?! It’s kind of nice and helpful to finish this transit with a flowing aspect to the ruler of Scorpio. Maybe we’ve found someone we can trust and be completely honest with. We can definitely recognize deeper meanings of what we’ve been through, and use it to help us move on.

As we know, transits through Sagittarius this year haven’t been as fun as usual. This will continue with Venus’ trip through the sign in 2023-4. People who want a Venus transit with plenty of flowing aspects will have to wait for her Capricorn transit in 2024.

Cannor x Minthara Duo Run: Act 2 Notes

Now organized under the Cannor Solo Duo tag for previous entries.

Our power couple has moved on to Act 2 for good, after a few days raising hell in the Wilderness via the Silence Gambit. Notes and snapshots for in-game Days 16-23 below the cut:

Day 16: With Minthara still only at the initial +5 approval, mining commenced at all but a few Act 2 locations—Last Light, Moonrise, Shadowed Battlefield (where they found poor Lae'zel), and Reithwin Town—to boost her to +19. That's the mathy way of saying they respected an ox's privacy, bullied the drider convoy, freed some feral gnolls, and made Z'rell envy-cry on the inside so bad she killed her pet ogre with a thought. Camped back at Last Light, where the dream visitor made an unwelcome return.

Day 17: Defended Isobel from Marcus and the winged horrors, using speed potions, bardic slashes, and divine smites, with one hit of Lesser Restoration for the moon cleric. Took care of a few other minor things, warped to the mausoleum, annoyed Raphael, and entered the Gauntlet through the cloaker room (surely a pun for cloakroom). Minthara now at +30 but she still needs a point or two to fully trigger the romance. Camped in the Gauntlet.

Day 18: Went after Balthazar and his undead slaves first thing. Fittingly, the approval point for stealing his mother pushed Minthara into romance territory. Our heroes celebrated by cheesing all of Shar's trials and clearing the library of animated armors, hitting Level 8 afterward. Camped in the Gauntlet again.

Day 19: Dealt with the entrance-way armors next, then went after Yurgir. Persuaded Nessa to help (after many many reloads; it's a DC 30 so even the bard had a tough time). Sadly the displacer beast died in the subsequent fight, but Cannor and Minthara demolished Yurgir woth Hold Monster and fiend-slaying arrows, then sniped the merregons with extreme prejudice. With Minthara now at +32 approval, kissing commenced. While the BG3 wiki says 30 is necessary to trigger her romance, in my experience 31 is what will actually start the dialogue, and 32 is what gets her kissing.

Warped to LLI to trade with Talli, then back to the Gauntlet to exterminate the rats (with two Walls of Fire and several Many-Targets arrows). With the Gauntlet done early (except for the Shadowfell), the power couple returned to LLI and kettled the meenlocks in the basement there, then called it a day.

Day 20: Accidentally triggered the Reithwin square fight with the cursed drider convoy while peeking out the tollhouse window. That's a first! Retreated to the Shadowed Battlefield to take out all the blights and deal with Oliver's family (since he's a useless, bratty appendage in grove-raiding runs). Warped to Moonrise for zapping as many scrying eyes as possible, then climbed up to the sub-roof balcony to firebomb the winged horrors. Camped up there for the night.

Day 21: Cleared all of Moonrise upstairs. Busted the gnomes out of prison without killing anyone, by first untying the boat and then using strength potion and Ragzlin's hammer on the back wall. Had to leave early before the guards could get there, though. After that, returned to the mausoleum warp point to clear the cursed kua-toa with two well-placed bombs and a few lightning arrows. Returned to Moonrise prison to clear it, which was work as only a duo, but Wall of Fire was once again the hammer for hitting all nails. Camped there.

Day 22: Cleared the Moonrise entrance, though Cannor was briefly down after two Thunderous Smites from Malik. Romanced Minthara actually yelped "No! You can't die!" which was a first; only origin companion romances had done this in my earlier playthroughs. Other fights today were tougher than expected too, like the Reithwin main square harper/shadow fight, but our heroes did hit level 9 after—multiclassing to Rogue (Cannor) and Fighter (Minthara). Celebrated by looting the pub and hospital and then clearing the zombies from the inside and outside of the morgue. Warped to Moonrise for some +2 studded leather and cleared the dorm and a bit of the main hall. Camped round the back.

Day 23: Cleaned out the oubliette hook horrors and knocked off a few more Absolutists in Moonrise's main hall. In Reithwin, Cannor chugged some hill giant potion and pushed two meazels into the river; Minthara smote the other two. Did the bidding of He Who Was, and this time the shadar-kai wasn't even mad about the stabbing. The mason's guild shadows were tougher than expected but still got handled. Our heroes were burning through their scrolls (and therefore gold) however, so they sold some unused Act 1 loot to Talli and cleared the remainder of Moonrise—even the rooftop necromancer (with disintegration) and her necromites (with kettling), completely under Ketheric's nose. Camped at Last Light to take on Big K in the morning, which I'll get into next time; I know these kinda read like laborious "trip to the zoo" diaries, so thanks for making it to the end.

Agility: 7

Luck: 6

Tagged Skills:

Guns, Survival, Lockpick(for the weapon "Lucky") or Science

The high intelligence was chosen because Conan is very intelligent and a Harvard graduate, and for perks later on.

Notes:

A few more vigorous pop-up thunderstorms moved over our Barn after our workout. I'm so grateful for the rain. We have had very little rain since Memorial Day. Yes, we have irrigation from a fine well, but it is never as good for giving coverage as a real rain. "Drops Of Gold".

I checked out our Little Harpeth River earlier today and saw that it was so low that it was pool-stage but not flowing. At that low level, the Oxygen gets low in the water and we can get a major fish kill. Hopefully todays' rain will save the fish.

Our recent LHCF favorite, Miss Maddi, is driving alone, all the way across country to NorCal, driving her SUV and pulling a U-Haul Trailer. I checked on her, like a Dad, and she is in a motel in Kansas City tonight. She is an innocent and unaware of the evil in the World type of girl, who is likely to stop and render aide to someone who has a face covered with tattoos. She has a Yellow Lab with her that hasn't a protective bone in her wagging tail. God protect her.

Sue, who is always eager to celebrate anyone's birthday, has a birthday tomorrow that she is keeping secret. Everyone please text her Birthday wishes. I won't tell you her age-less age.

Next Saturday we will workout at 0930. Please come.

God’s People Are Comforted

1 Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God. 2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid, that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.

3 A voice cries out: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. 5 Then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

6 A voice says, “Cry out!” And I said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass; their constancy is like the flower of the field. 7 The grass withers; the flower fades, [[when the breath of the Lord blows upon it; surely the people are grass. 8 The grass withers; the flower fades,]] but the word of our God will stand forever. 9 Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good news; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good news; lift it up, do not fear; say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!” 10 See, the Lord God comes with might, and his arm rules for him; his reward is with him and his recompense before him. 11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms and carry them in his bosom and gently lead the mother sheep.

12 Who has measured the waters of the sea in the hollow of his hand and marked off the heavens with a span, enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance? 13 Who has directed the spirit of the Lord or as his counselor has instructed him? 14 Whom did he consult for his enlightenment, and who taught him the path of justice? [Who taught him knowledge and showed him the way of understanding? 15 Even the nations are like a drop from a bucket and are accounted as dust on the scales; see, he takes up the isles like fine dust. 16 Lebanon would not provide fuel enough, nor are its animals enough for a burnt offering.] 17 All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.

18 To whom, then, will you liken God, or what likeness compare with him? 19 An idol? A workman casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and casts for it silver chains. 20 As a gift one chooses mulberry wood —wood that will not rot— then seeks out a skilled artisan to set up an image that will not topple.

21 Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? 22 It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them like a tent to live in, 23 who brings princes to naught and makes the rulers of the earth as nothing.

24 Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown, scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth, when he blows upon them, and they wither, and the tempest carries them off like stubble.

25 To whom, then, will you compare me, or who is my equal? says the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high and see: Who created these? He who brings out their host and numbers them, calling them all by name; because he is great in strength, mighty in power, not one is missing.

27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God”? 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. 29 He gives power to the faint and strengthens the powerless. 30 Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted, 31 but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. — Isaiah 40 | New Revised Standard Version Bible: Updated Edition (NRSVUE) New Revised Standard Version, Updated Edition.
