#like 90% of the things I love I just don't mention OTL

of the fandoms you have written for, which ones would you genuinely recommend? (like, should I play half life?)

That's a difficult one! It's hard for me to give very broad recommendations, "everybody should watch this, because everybody will like it". I can normally really only just list my favorites and the reasons why, and let people see if they're interested or not.

It's also double difficult because I mostly write fanfic for works I find like...5/10 - 7/10. If I like something too much I don't write fic for it - it's like painting on the Mona Lisa, lmfao. There needs to be a sweet spot of 'good enough for my brain to chew on it, has enough untapped soil and potential that there's blanks to fill in'. If I really, really love something, I'm just like...wow, I really love that! I'm very satisfied with that experience and there's nothing I would want to add or change! Anyway! So all of my favorite works that I would recommend without reservation aren't things I would write for.

That being said, my Animorphs, Buffy, and Artemis Fowl works were written from a place of deep love for the source materials. I can't recommend any of those without reservations, but they were written because the source material was very special to me. Other things I've written because I hate the source material. Detroit: Become Human is very bad.

If you're thinking, 'I might want to get into The Magnus Archives!', I do want to suggest that you read some transcripts of I Am In Eskew first. IAIE is my favorite podcast, and it basically did what TMA tried to do a thousand times better. It's incredible. 'Paining on the Mona Lisa' situation.

Similarly, if you're interested in comics, I'd have to recommend specific authors or runs over characters.

So - Half-Life is a classic, and makes the list of 'best of' games. It's acknowledged as one of the best FPS shooters of all time. So if you're the kind of person who likes 90s FPSes that are very light on plot, then it's a great example!

Sorry that's not super helpful haha. I don't actually think I can recommend without reservations anything I've written for. Either it's like The Magnus Archives (which was pretty good, but I really never feel the urge to re-listen or anything) or it's like Animorphs (incredibly high art that in some instances was either just really fucking dumb or really did not age well).

Play/watch a Let's Play of The World Ends With You. It builds character.

hi lei!! how are you? after school i just relaxed and played genshin thinking i didn't have any homework but i do and its due in the morning 😆 i'm trying to convince myself its all good but its not and i'm ready to snap a few pencils also remember when i talked about a bug and having to pull an all nighter in another room yeah when i asked someone for help it just turns out it was just the paint on the ceiling that wasn't properly coated so it looked slightly darker with my lights off,,,,OTL its bad enough this happened twice but finding out it wasn't actually anything makes me realize how much air is in my head

enough of that though because kaeya gave me his namecard!! this is basically a proposal n we are married i'm excited for ludi harpastum because i heard we're gonna see him i miss him he's literally in my party and i just acended him to lvl 90 but i miss him yk? also i heard we're gonna see albedo in that event i'm trying to save for him but its more difficult when i haven't seen him in a while as a fellow albedo lover i wanna know your opinion on his design 🧎‍♀️ honestly speaking i think he's beautiful and pretty but his clothes are ugly its mostly the jacket and his boots that save it though i don't like the fact he wears shorts,,,it reminds of the boys in my grade who only wear basketball shorts i'm trying to get over it because he wears stockings and i think its cute of him 🥺 i wear them too so i'm replacing the hate of his shorts for a daydream in which we're matching or borrowing his pair when i run out-🍰

hello sweetheart!! i’m doing well as always. i can relate to that accidentally skipping over work for genshin bit bc i almost had my ass handed to me by the amount of times i pulled that shit off. good luck on your homework and i hope it isn’t too bad. as for the bug bit, well, i mean... it’s better your imagination than an actual bug right? anw i think your fears are valid and if i see even the slightest shadow of a bug in my room i swear i would burn it down.

ayeee!! congrats on your marriage :)) finally getting someone’s namecard after months of grind is v satisfying. i get the missing a person thing too cuz like, i also have childe on my team and he’s lvl 90 but i still miss him?? like what,, how does that work?? point is, we need more content/cutscenes to simp over for. glad to know he’s likely to be making some reappearances though!

eye— why would you mention that basketball shorts thing??? now i cant unsee it 😭😭 jokes aside, i like it? i mean, i don’t particularly love it like zhongli’s or ningguang’s but it’s not horrendously bad. from my pov, it’s p practical esp since he’s always out and about doing experiments in the wild. on one hand though, it’s also not my favorite part of his design. i really like his hair (in the character art bc his hair there hits different) and ofc his coat. his shirt’s also a nice color and his face,, don’t even get me started on his face.
