#lvl4

[sifuus-strap]

a fic I don't have the attention span to write but that I think about

spoilers for ashura under the cut, skip it if you don't want to be spoiled for his upper lvl friendship stuff

a majiri who comes to Kilima to avenge the child princess Ashura accidentally killed when he was a soldier. they use flow runes to disguise themself as a human and integrate into the village by pretending to be one of the random humans popping up. they want to get close to ashura to kill him, but he is not what they expected. for 20 years they've been picturing an old boastful soldier, bragging every chance he gets about how important he was and showing off his glory. but he isn't like that at all. maybe they need to stay longer.

months down the road and they're sitting with ashura in the inn one slow night. they take off the disguise runes and transform back into their majiri form. maybe ashura recognizes them as umbraan. (it would be cool if there were slight differences in the population across the regions) and they tell him why they came to kilima. he's floored. he thought they were his friend. they asked him to be their shepp.

they tell him they wanted to kill him in the square in front of his friends, all the trouble they've gone through to get his name and location. all the heads they've busted to get what they need. he tells them that if they still want that, he won't fight. he knows he deserves it.

they don't want that. they're tired. they just wanted to tell him the truth.

rbing this every time i work out

[hassianlovebot]

like on one hand i understand why people don't like subira at first, but i'm also getting tired of seeing people shit on her without actually getting to know her. and i know how that sounds, but she's literally fine. like yes death to cops but the in game order lady isn't the evil witch come to kill zeki and reth that everyone thinks she is. and they would know that,, if they did her quests,, or at least spoiled themselves and looked at the wiki,,,

it's getting embarrassing honestly

The Levels of RPF Tinhats

Level 1 - Chemistry Enjoyer Watched a movie and some BTS interviews for the chemistry and think they would be hot making out. Most fics are essentially their ship's public personas in an AU. Doesn't think their ship are or did actually hook up. Barely a tinhat.

Level 2 - Casual Observer Knows a little too much, "haha wouldn't it be funny if they hooked up on this movie". Knows a few of the weirder and more obscure quotes about their ship. Looking forward to when they tag each other on instagram. Probably doesn't think their ship actually hooked up but open to being propagandized in a 'I have some questions' way. Mild tinhat.

Level 3 - Lore Expert Could probably convince you that it's POSSIBLE their ships traded at least a handy on the 9th of October 1986. Has graphs, a detailed timeline, and photo references for every week of every year. Thinks SOMETHING went/is going on, is a believer, but claims no secret knowledge. Has some compelling evidence, but also points to some stuff that makes you go 'okay buddy'. High level tinhat.

-- GNOSTIC CULT LINE!!! DO NOT CROSS!!! --

Level 4 - Prophet Who Saw the Truth in a Dream Once Most likely claims that their opinion of their ship is the One True Opinion. They are the special ones who understand the esoteric secret messages their ship is sending by wearing blue and green shirts. They have secret knowledge the plebs don't know, but time will prove them right. Their ship is definitely under a bearding contract right now. Management is keeping them apart. The baby is fake. A secret insider (see below) said that the bearding contract ends soon! The het parade will end! They will slowly turn on at least one half of their ship the harder their beliefs become to justify. Extreme tinhat.

Level 5 - Psychic Messiah of RPF Channelling their ship from astral plane right now. Knows their ships is coming out on the June 5th 2025, you can tell because this shot of a bus in their music video. No, look harder. No longer wears a tinhat, they needed to take it off to get messages directly from the black mold.

Sorry to say that I've completely given up on art. I'm never going to draw anything ever again because it takes away time I could spend playing Baldur's Gate 3

Imo, kh1 is the only one that takes longer to use items because you have to select them manually from the menu, whereas in kh2, you can put potions and other healing items onto your shortcuts, which most people use for cure anyways.

Also, you don't have to wait for the particle effects and such to run out before you can move, you have a tiny bit of time before it ends to move. Also the prev anon is right; it takes the same amount of time to cast cure and use a potion, the amount of time it locks you in an animation is damn near identical, unless you're a stickler for like, milliseconds idk.

And then in kh3 they were actually kinder with the mp bar, because they added that whole "you can save 1mp to cast cure if you need to after doing other spells" which i think even includes cure itself? Honestly I'm not as familiar with kh3 since its newer and I've played the other 2 since release. Also they added Kupo Coins... which is just a revival you can buy at the shop. The other games didn't have that, except for the occasional visit from Mickey in kh2 if you died to certain bosses. But getting Mickey isn't guaranteed either, where the Kupo Coin is 100% effective.

Also, just... I know the MP refill seems like it takes forever because yeah, kh2 is pretty fast pace when you're in combat, and you really want that mp bar to fill up again, but it's not 70 seconds wtf??? Its probably like... 20 at most? (Maybe I'll come back after I time this bc I just started a kh2 game and I don't have any mp abilities yet).

But you can change that!!! You get MP Rage (Wisdom lvl4, Hidden Dragon keyblade ((this is literally the first keyblade you can switch to)) ) Theres MP Haste (wisdom lvl 6, Circle of Life keyblade, Full Bloom+ item,), MP Hastera (roxas gets it at 3rd level when playing on Critical) and MP Hastega (Ultima Weapon keyblade). Theres plenty of ways to boost that time. Also carry fucking ethers, or elixirs, or megaelixirs. Don't have them? Buy them!!! At least the ethers!! Every moogle has them!!! Want elixirs? Synthesize them!!! You get both hp and mp back from those, if you're really in a bind! Equip them to your customization menu so you can use them in a shortcut! I do that if I know the fight is gonna be bad! You really only need Cure, Reflect, And one other kind of magic you like on the other 3 slots anyways!!! If its a boss fight, ditch Magnet! Magnet doesn't do anything to bosses!!!

YOU CAN ALSO SUMMON STITCH!!! HE REFILLS YOUR MP EVERY LIKE 3 SECONDS IF YOU'RE USING IT!!!

And if she ever pulled the "well my party members should heal me more" she should GO INTO THE PARTY CUSTOMIZE MENU AND FIX IT!!! YOU CAN CHANGE THE FREQUENCY THAT THEY THROW OUT SUPPORT ITEMS AND ABILITIES!!! IN EVERY GAME!!! I know its a joke to never give Donald and Goofy items but ffs if you know you're gonna have a tough time, GIVE THEM ITEMS!! ESP LATER ON GIVE THEM ITEMS THAT BENEFIT THE WHOLE PARTY!!

Sorry just omg... I have 22 years of playing these games under my belt, okay, I've been playing since I was 3. And kh2 is my favorite and I *know* how to play that game. Well, I'm not a speedrunner or anything, I just know the tips and tricks and things you can do to help yourself out yknow. Like these games give you tools as you level up, its only in early game where using Cure can really screw you.

Like, you get cure in Beasts Castle. You've usually done Land of Dragons by then, so we're not mentioning that, but if you did BC first, LOD will be a breeze anyways. Next world is Olympus Coliseum, and the only time you might have to use it is in Hades Escape (bc Lance Soliders suck), and then maybe in either Cerberus or the Hydra if you struggle on one of them. Then next is Timeless River and your only real struggle there with dying is the fucking Hot Rods in The Scene of The Fire bc they suck too. But once you get to Port Royal, its smooth sailing until, like, Pride Lands fighting Scar (or the Hyenas if you're on Critical bc omg they can one shot you if you're not careful) but by then you should have at least something to help your healing or mp, or have enough stock in items to use those.

....tl;dr, KH gives you tools to deal with the restrictions to healing. Its not a spam like in kh1, but the later (numbered) games give you plently of things to help make healing easier as the game goes on and also being able to put items into your shortcut helps the speed of it too.

((I'm not talking about the non-numbered games bc tbh thats a whole new can of worms. THOSE are the games you have to really plan out healing in bc of the whole card (re:com) or ability slot things that bbs and ddd have that make healing a lot harder.))

You coulda made up half of that and I wouldn't know i tried to do my own research but this anon showed me that while my perspective was basically right I cannot compete with a true kingdom hearts fan

[asexual-levia-tan]

beel loves me a whole lot❤

extremely tempted to go for that simeon card, just for his ruritunes sprite......

i mean, i do need another sloth card......but at the same time, it looks like he's the face of the banner, so it's unlikely i'll actually get him......not to mention he's a ur+ so he'd be useless pretty much as soon as i get a regular UR....................

Gabi and Madison trying out lifts!

Also, just wanted to add that if you try to argue that two human beings who aren't strictly male and female automatically cannot achieve lvl4 (when it's not even the topic) and use it as an excuse to easily dismiss the idea, feel free to kindly f off.
