Holy shit, is the bleed from Candela Obscura just...basically magical radiation??? Or like, just straight up radiation?????
If just being exposed to it (not even having to touch it directly) is enough to weaken the human body (because they take a bleed mark when they get too close to it),
if there's a chance that prolonged exposure to copious amounts of it could mutate you (or start disintegrating you) in some shape or form like when they take a scar after getting four bleed marks,
and if it had a hand in the straight up obliteration of an entire civilization because the people were trying to use it to gain power and then ended up suffering direct damage from it as well as creatures mutated by it (and the bleed and its mutated creatures are still around to fuck with the citizens of the new civilization)
THAT'S JUST BASICALLY MAGICAL RADIATION
#No like think about it though#This post brought to you by me falling asleep to the first ep of the new#Candela Obscura#Episode#The Circle of the Crimson Mirror#I literally just woke up and I had to grab my phone to make this post#This is the thought that woke me up my dudes#I dreamt about that one poor NPC on the boat who died because of the bleed#You know the one#And I was thinking about how it affected him and I was like#Wait#That sounds...familiar#And here we are#HAHAHAHA oh god#Candela obscura brainrot

Trying to piece together the miscommunication between Link and Normal where they both think the other doesn't know what they want and I think it's that the level of results they're each looking for is different. Link wants to know what to do from moment to moment and every decision in each moment is backed by "which option gets fewer people hurt or killed." Whereas Normal isn't looking for a moment-to-moment goal, he's looking for a long term goal of helping the Doodler, and so what that looks like from moment to moment isn't always going to look the same.
So like, the moment with the pick. To Link, Normal is the one who doesn't know what to do because Normal doesn't know what to do in that moment to resolve the anchor, while Link takes a quick action. But from Normal's point of view it looks like Link has no idea what he's doing because his actions had no thought towards the ongoing Doodler problem.
#dndads#dndads 2#dndads spoilers#link liwilson#normal oak#and IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIm kinda on Normal's side here cause Normal is the one who LITERALLY mind melded with the Doodler#so info from him trumps info from Willy EVERY time#even without literally every npc telling them not to trust willy#and as much as I personally admire saving lives as a goal that's not a Goal#its not a direction to move in until Link can answer HOW he's going to do that#and Link straight up said that until he's in that moment he doesn't have an answer#and obviously thats not good enough for Normal because Normal needs to know he can trust Link with something like the anchors#Normal knows EXACTLY what end result he wants for each anchor is even if he doesnt know the circumstances around it yet#Link saying he doesn't know what he'd do#in Normal's eyes#makes him potentially as dangerous as Scary in this mission to help the doodler#also unrelated but it sounds like willy wants to use scary as some kind of manipulatable vessel for the doodlers power and thats sounds#uhBAD#anyway normal and link are both kids and need a solid 10 minutes and an outside mediator to figure this out#without the threat of Scary doing something irreparably stupid#I am lovingly putting Scary in timeout

i love this alliance general and am glad someone is thinking positive about future friendships in this damn game
look at this cute general look at him wanting to be friends with all these people he spent all these good times with
#DCB Three Hopes Run#interesting enough too is that raphael mentions they have ''parties'' in ag#he seems to think they're too formal for him but im gonna be real with you#with rodrigue there they are NOT having stiff formal parties like you'd have with like#nobles and rich people mingling and that kind of thing. rodrigue literally goes to have fun at bars and drink with his men lmfao#he's dimitri's dad i'm SURE he lets it slide and lets him just do what he wants#so i'm SURE their parties are lively. also with how the npcs (particularly the alliance npcs) seem to talk abt it#they all seem to be having fun/feeling close to the kingdom and church#i will be honest it sounds like being in the kingdom army is a very fun time esp after the alliance joins up with them

We ought to write more Pokemon fic some time. We want to recreate the Pokemon Manners/Human Manners cheat sheet that we made a few years ago we think that this site would like the Sliding Scale Of Politeness When Greeting A New Pokemon You've Never Met Before.
#we speak#writing#we grew up with pmd games and we feel like the way that pmd pokemon's dialogue tends to be excessively... direct?#should be a feature and not a bug when any pokemon that you meet might be totally unfamiliar with your species and biology#it's probably very polite to start up front with some basic facts about yourself so they know how to act going forward#the very upfront feel to dialogue also very much helps with keeping the dialogue feel more... pokemon#people mock the series for weird npc dialogue a lot but we think that taking these things literally makes for more fun society building#it doesn't all have to fit with socially acceptable for our world we think. polite in our world isn't even consistent by household.#sometimes a polite interaction sounds like “hello! i'm poochyena! i like to chase people and bite!”#name and immediately socially useful information. now you know about the chasing people and biting so you don't assume it's rude#of course poochyena bites and chases people. it likes to do that. you can say you don't like that and it might stop doing that to You#but it will not stop biting and chasing people because that's what it likes to do and it will probably only befriend people okay with that#it makes a very specific dialogue feel that's very fun to do. we like how the pokemon world tends to treat any sort of like#disability or “weird” things as something that you just say out the gate and everyones like “oh okay”#and then treat that as Part Of Interactions going forwards. there are a surprising amount of parts of the pokemon manga#that are dedicated to working around a character's disability after one or all of their means of dealing with it get taken out#admittedly we aren't that caught up on newer content but we find the way that it tends to be just Accepted as very refreshing#making the dialogue this direct does also tend to make it read as more “childish” in english and particular because a lot of Maturity's jus#learning how to dance around what you're saying or phrase it in different ways to get your idea across differently#whereas here everything is just as direct as possible. “i don't like charmander”. “i like roasting berries”. “i want to dig things up”.#all pokemon dialogue tends to go towards being exceedingly simple and it makes for some very distinct writing#especially when you have to tackle complex situations with characters who probably dont employ that sort of vocabulary#though we personally enjoy doing this sort of stuff your mileage may vary ofc#we are biased towards this sort of thins because we find it MUCH more fun to build up what we're talking about from blocks#than to like. try and use more indirect wording that may lose things in translation#unfortunately this is not fun in irl conversation. everyone has to be on the same page and you need to use the same playbook to communicate#we REALLY wish people said what they meant though. we're really tired of being asked shit like “is this accessible”#when what they mean is “can you climb these stairs” a question which depends on the day our energy level and how things have been going#there are a lot of things we could say that would make us feel like some sort of anti sjw type guy and a lot of em boil down to just#"for the love of god dont dance around a Sensitive Topic just get to the point and ask us about it this just makes things harder for everyo

#ffxivposting#i knew it was coming bc i tried to use the google search bar as a spellcheck for his name (LOL) like a DUMBASS because in the suggestions..#i was like no!! no!! but he's so funny!!!!!! and the second he showed up in game again i started taking screenshots of me n the bestieee#it wouldnt be accurate to say that i am Emotional about this but i am like aw man...but he was so funny...insert montage of All The Memorie#was crazy seeing her looking so distressed in a cutscene. girl me too! he was so funny </3#the loud ass screenshot sound effects throughout the cutscene were funny though.this is who i am#altogether i have like 150+ screenshots of this game thus far.serious shit#IN OTHER NEWS:#- i cant stop laughing at finding out that a.lphinaud is in fact 16 years old. like i was guessing he was 17 or so but man it checks out#so hard. smart fella or not of course the sixteen year old boy naively founded a private army. it checks out so hard. hes cute :)#- since the tail end of arr patch quests ive been checking npc dialogue of relevant characters and thats a bit of a goldmine sometimes#- the first time aymeric(?) (not double checking via google ive learned my lesson) showed up i joked that he was going to be an akc type#and well no. he's really not. but i did cackle when it was revealed that he was a bastard child. clocked him on accident#- addicted to dalamud red dye. was funny when estinien started rocking his blood red armor like omg now we're Extra twinsies!#funny to me when they acknowledge the whole drg class stuff. like ah yes the Other azure drg. sorry estinien this feels like stolen valor#this is just what happens when u play f.fiv multiple times when u are r like 6. and also just think lances are sexy.#- can't wait to find out where tf the rest of the scions went. hi guys. you wont Believe what happened while you were AFK!#that's right! dragons! and then theyre like I Haven't Seen The Light Of The Sun For An Ambiguous Amount Of Time...cowabummer!#i keep joking abt needing to do a wellness check on urianger but honestly hes fine hes living it up in the sand. hes doing fine#- anyway can someone do a wellness check on ysayle(?).#- i've unlocked flight in a couple zones! thankkk god. some of these places are ROUGH to navigate without it sometimes.#- my keybinds are rough. also i have a gauge now. havent gotten to use it bc of level sync but anyway this feels like school#dont worry chat i only do duties with other real players when i Literally Have To Because They Make Me#- anyway. very ? about what theyre going to do with the rest of this story. intrigued. and quite sleepy i must say.

No your take on gay bars is wrong. Also gay men have a hook up culture whereas lesbians dont and require emotional connection.
lol.................... just walk away from me
#the gender strawman appreciator has entered the chat#idk something about being a girl is so emotions coded and being a man is so sex coded... anyone else?#not sure how this fake argument even matters when the definition presented means they would not be sexually interested in each other#do you think they cast like a sex spell at gay bars or#and again. if they arent welcoming they should be. you just chose to view this as an exclusive attack#also you can not tell me the vibe for every bar on earth and im not trying to argue that so drop it#also i think i left a lot of diplomatic leeway in my post i suspect youre a terf frankly#if not you sound like one. stop being sexist towards women with this reductivism it's not helpful.#if you think any [full group of people] does [thing you dont like] youre an idiot period the end#not how humans work maybe try thinking for two seconds or developing empathy#and i dont even mean in the touching brothership way i mean literally youre not at the understand stage yet#not even the acknowledgement stage#you are treating people like npcs

did you guys know that forneus and benreece arent even the main characters. theyre just side characters technically. on/off turned genuinely antagonistic [at the end they genuinely become antagonistic but its kind ot out of their hands at that point] ones at that. like theyre not even running the show. but you probably thought they did given how i talk about them.
#metronome.txt#FORNEUS WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN NPC TOO !!!!! HE WOULDNT EVEN BE A PC IF THIS WAS TRADITIONAL HIGH FANTASY GAMING RULES !!!!!!#forneus is literally just an npc who adopts himself into the party#also these tags make it sound like its a d&d thing. its not. i just borrow things and terms from d&d to make it easier#as most high fantasy dodz#does*#folder: thasa

The pros of looking like the 🤨😐 emojis in public and just in general is not having mfs talk to you but the cons is that you dont have mfs talking to you
IT DOESNT HELP THAT I HAVE A MONOTONE VOICE MOST OF THE TIME
#this is gonna kinda sound 🖤🥀⛓ but thats why i barely have any irl friends#whatever the peoole ive met online are WAY cooler#back on the irl friends topic#like majority of people#1. already have people to talk to#2. think im shy so they leave me alone#3. think im sad or angry which is another reason they leave me alone#i like to joke that im the main character but im literally an npc#sometime i say less than 10 words at school im being so fucking serious#shoutout to the one irl friend i have that actually talks to me and i now have a class with#FUCK#I FORGOT TO DO AN ASSIGNMENT I HAD TO DO WITH A GROUP PROJECT WITH THAT SAID FRIEND#well ik what im doing at 11pm#closet rambles again on tumblr#also was this kinda venty oops

I wanna ask Athena Cykes from AMNT a question if you don't mind;
Who's Venus, like are they you- Since your middle name is Venus or-
Oh... ack... c'mon, Venus. Face the past, face the past.
It's actually something I don't really want to talk about. My mother did name me "Athena Venus Cykes", yes, but there's a greater meaning. However, very few people know. Only the people who were directly involved with my return from Europe know the details, and I've specifically asked for them to keep quiet.
Guess I let something slip...
As for what I think you're asking, no. I would not say that Athena Cykes is Venus...
(Note from S-P for you: The identity of Venus is a major plot point in AMNT, and the story has not been published far enough for me to provide non-vague details past anything suggested thus far. I'd love to enthuse, but our yellow lawyer isn't quite willing yet. The time is, however, coming. It will be revealed before Ashes Remain ends)
#athenacykes#athena cykes#a man named terran#first ask#FIRST ASK FIRST ASK FIRST ASK#*is quite literally foaming at the mouth*#I sound like a tutorial NPC#“You need to be at a higher level to unlock this mission”#or something like that

I'm plotting out this book based on my D&D OCs as if I was plotting out a campaign I'd be DMing, and when it comes to writing it I'm very tempted to fully roll dice to see what happens
#this is just the latest shiny writing idea I have but lets see how far this one gets lmao#basically I'm trying to retell the character arc of one of my D&D NPCs but other than that. I don't NEED anything specific to happen?#so if I go in just improvising the whole thing as I write it and then edit for cohesion afterward like. that sounds fine by me#I'm re-setting this character in my homebrew setting which I've been tinkering with literally since I started DMing#bc I'm really fascinated with the cosmology and world history I kinda threw together for this#also this is my Adaka story and if I actually DO finish it I'd wanna go back and re-tell the Halin story and then the Nadya story#without any of the actual PCs that showed up in those games bc I don't wanna use my friends' OCs or retell the story exactly?#so like. the Adaka story retells the arc I came up for that character but is also an excuse to explore outer planes stuff in this setting#the Halin story would be an excuse to explore Shadowfel lore in my setting#and the Nadya story an excuse to explore Feywild lore in my setting#and I have a host of unplayed PCs who'd help facilitate those explorations
