Hi! I was wondering if I could request Nikola, Buddha, Raiden and Qin (if that's too much you can take Raiden out) with a fem reader (s/o) that's a sleepy god? reader is pretty strong, almost stronger than the supreme gods, but she's really calm and likes to nap most of the times, like, with Nikola when he's writing something down or working on something she lays her head on his lap and falls asleep, with Buddha when he's just eating snacks and chilling she just lays on his chest and sleeps, with Qin when he's looking over some work he needs to do as the emperor she just lays at his side and proceeds to take a nap right there, and she just uses Raiden as a huge pillow/bed because of tall this man is (he's like 8ft tall or something)

I admit that I felt bad for Raiden so I broke my rule for 3 characters at max 😅 Our big boy deserves more love ♡

NIKOLA,BUDDHA,QIN AND RAIDEN WITH A SLEEPY GODDESS

Your head was carefully laying on his lap. Nikola sat on the couch just for you;to grant you the sleep you deserve. Your strength was out of the world, but it required you so much energy you could even fall asleep while standing. His voice was barely a whisper as he went on with reading reports about his latest invention. The sweet sound making your sleep come faster.

A, not so, subtle smile graced Buddha's lips as he watched you struggling keeping yourself awake while meditating. A strong deity like you had so much steam to release, or so he thought. In the end, you could just take a simple walk in the gardens; immediately after you were knocked out and sleeping. It was amusing to him. Buddha sucked on his lollipop as you fell on the grass, face flat. His laugh made you jump, but you forgave him when he pulled you on his lap;letting you sleep there.

You had a boring meeting with some other gods. It was quite boring, leaving you a desire to crawl in your bed and sleep. You entered your room. Qin was there, re-ordering scrolls. You gave a quick glance to him. Your body hit the mattress and fell asleep instantly. Qin blinked, then shrugged his shoulders with a little smile.A short nap was tempting for the emperor now.

There was a big difference between you and Raiden. He was eager to blow off some steam with a good fight while you were more on the calm side. Yet he has managed to convince you to playful wrestle with him.  As you were expecting this tire you to the point you soon were asleep. Raiden was laying on the mattress;his eyes closed as one of his muscular arms were wrapped around your back. The sound of your breaths was the only one to break the silence. You slept peacefully on top of him.

!! Vibrator, not much talking, character is naked while reader is clothed, hair pulling, nipple play, pec squeezing, edging !!

It was amusing to see this, one of the strongest gods being at your feet as you toy around with him, a vibrator against his cock as he comes over and over again without a break, his strong hands squeeze your thighs and his head against your lap, his long red hair training down his back and against your lap, the remote in your hand being what's teasing him right now, making him cum or sometimes not allowing him too, making his brain all foggy as he couldn't think straight.

Your hand reaches out and tugs at his hair, pulling his face up to face you and you couldn't help but smiling at seeing how desperate he had came to be, his eyes looking up at you like a puppy, sweat dripping down his forehead as you fingers gently traced the golden lines on his face, you lean forward and press your lips against his, your tongue immediately slipping in his mouth, making a small whimper escape the god of thunder, your hands trail down his body until they quickly find his chest, making a smile pull on your lips.

You pull him up into bed, off of the floor before laying him down, your hands immediately going to his chest, squeezing his pecs, going down and licking his nipples, as you lick and bite at one, your hand works on squeezing the other, your knee slowly pushes against his crotch, rubbing his cock as he groans, his head tilted back as his breath comes out in cut of gasps, you still haven't turned the vibrator off and the way you were toying with his chest made him cum almost immediately.

“ Don't cum, alright sweetie?” you mumbled as you kiss his lips gently, he huffed as he threw his head back when he felt the vibrator go up to max, you hands not bothering to stop as your mouth went right back to teasing his nipples, the quiet moans and groans that left his throat were music to your ears, his strong hands gripped your shoulders trying to cover his mouth with the others but the one over his mouth was quickly slapped away by you, he was so close, so, so, close but the vibrator suddenly turned off, he let out a confused sound, looking up at you while you begun taking your clothes off.

!! Praise(he needs some love), riding, nicknames, vanilla !!

Jack's arms wrapped around you tightly as you rode his cock, your hand gently placed on his shoulder as you did, you smile down at him sweetly as you continue at the same pace, his face is buried in between your breasts, you can't help but giggle a little bit, the action was sweet to you and of course welcomed by you as well, the hand that's on his shoulder slowly travels to the back of his head, burying you hand in his white hair.

“ I love you so much.” you whisper against his lips, you hips still moving, riding his cock, making him moan against your lips, the words making his heart melt, pulling you closer than you already were, as you pull back, Jack looks up at you in pure admiration, “My dear.. you make me feel so good..” he mumbled, his brain foggy from all the pleasure, he loves you, he loves you so much and he sees the most beautiful colors in you, one of your hands hold his cheek, your thumb presses on his lips, smudging the lipstick off of his lips that you have left on him.

“ You're so beautiful.” you smile at him, watching his already red cheeks burn up even more, he tries to look away from you but you immediately turn his head back to look at you again “No, no, none of that. ” you scolded him gently before praise started to fall from your lips again, with each one making him flustered, you turn him into a puddle with your words alone and the way your riding his cock makes him melt your arms, he's close to cumming and so are you, your hand gently holds his, bringing it close to your lips and kissing it as you both moan, your hips riding him faster than before, getting off of him and letting him finish on your stomach, the white liquid dripping down to your thighs as you both gasp for air.

“ Another round?”

𝑯𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒔 ♡

!! Gags, blindfold, bondage, crying, overstimulation, riding, subspace, nipple play, pec squeezing (I got freaky with this one) !!

To have the king of the underworld underneath you, tied up and gagged, wasn't the easiest thing to do but here you were. Your hips snap down harshly on him again and again, you can see the tears in the blindfold around his eyes, the muffled sound that come from him only make you want to torment the poor god even more. He could have snapped these damn ropes long ago but right now, he's not too sure if he can, he's not really sure why he agreed to being put into this position, especially knowing who he's around.

“ Mmmph! mmmph..!” he tries to moan or protest in any way but it all comes out in muffled sounds, falling on deaf ears, his legs try to squirm around but he gives up soon after, too tired from being overstimulanted for what felt like hours now, your gummy walls squeezing around his hard cock as you ride him, your hands that were on his abs slowly snake upwards to his chest, squeezing his pecs, making him jump a bit in surprise. You lean down, your lips press on his chest, landing kisses all over before you take one in your mouth, your tongue swirls around it, licking and sucking on it, you could hear the muffled sounds coming from him getting louder as you decide to tease more and more.

After a while and from a couple of dry orgasms coming from him, you pull back from his chest, letting out a small wet ‘pop’ sound as you did, you finally look at his face, blushed even more red than before with drool coating the ball gag and saliva dripping down his chin, the blindfold being wet where his eyes were, his cheeks slightly wet as well from the tears that slipped past the blindfold, you get off of him slowly, removing the ball gag from his mouth, making him pant heavily, you took the opportunity of the gag being off to kiss him, your tongue immediately going to inside of his mouth before you take off his blindfold and untie his wrists.

“ How do you feel?” you ask sweetly, gently moving some of his hair out of his face as he breathes heavily, “S’ gud.. an’ tired..” he barely managed to mutter out from exhaustion, sometimes, you liked him better when he was fuck stupid <3

They can be redeemed

Request by @kitty-chan33

Goes as follows: My request is for the human side of Record of Ragnarok they have a new fighter who is the anti Christ ( a half human demon, who forgive humanity for killing her human mother and what's more she still have hope that they can be redeemed l, ironic that they are a child of the devil ) Is this request okay??

Okay! Before I forget she is a total sweet heart yet can be very scary when fighting as she did killed few minor gods before meeting them, and she's the youngest member of the team

Fem! Reader and platonic

QIN who took one look at you then looked back at Brünhilde like "I want that one as a child". He wasn't surprised to hear you killed a few minor god he supports violence was pretty sure you had a reason " she was in a silly mood your honor ", Qin adores how you're pretty much a two sided coin. On one side you're the sweetest being he could ever ask for, and on the flip side you're a little ball of murder.

SASAKI who mostly likes goofing around with you, you're like a niece he didn't have. You're interested in his odd stories and that's more then enough for him. Sasaki understands being nice but having a backbone to defend yourself, he's like that as well.

TESLA who thinks you're from another universe, we all know he doesn't believe in magic. But he thinks you're a guardian from another universe. He adores info dumping on you about the "evolution of humanity" no matter if you understand it or not. He adores your sweet persona and how even if you're the nicest person known to man you don't let anyone step over you. We wasn't surprised when he heard you killed minor god on you or way to the human side, they were in your way and being insulting and disrespectful, looking down on you for having a human mother. He's not a supporter of violence..unless-

JACK who finds you amusing, you think humanity can be redeemed? Even with a monsters like him in the shadows? Now that's amusing! Jack still treats you like a lady, he's by no means used to being treated with such kindness and thus sometimes appears to be awkward. He can tell you have no ill intentions, your color is one of his favorites.

RAIDEN who cheers on when you fight, he loves strong women, both romantically and platonically, if Thrud is his love then you're his unofficial daughter, he adores that you're a sweetheart that can pack a punch if needed. He's an enabler for both good and bad stuff, so kinda trust him. You'll be fine..in some cases.

OKITA who's your enabler for violence, we ALL saw how blood thirsty he is. Okita doesn't really care, you're his fighting buddy and was smiling ear to ear when he heard you killed some minor gods, they were bad gods no? Then it's fine, they didn't need to live anyways.

ADAM who also finds you amusing and somewhat ironic, I mean...a devil child and redemption? But he knows to not judge a book by its cover, he still finds it funny though. He also finds ironic that the "half daughter of the devil" is the kinder then any "benevolent" god in that audience.

LU BU who is now acts as your semi defender, he takes "she was in a silly mood" to the max. Lu Bu is violent by mature and very much judges a book by its cover, he saw how sweet you were and decided you were weak. And then you murked a few minor gods because "I don't like how they talk". He feels neutral about the whole " I believe humans can be redeemed".

LEONIDAS who's another violence enabler, he's the spartan king what do you expect? Leonidas says you would've been a "great spartan" and adores your kind little self. He lifted you in the air and cheered when he heard about you killing off random insignificant gods.

I haven't posted in literal months I think-

Tbh I've had severe writer's block and I've also been vibing in my bird brain Urogi rp account, bird brain is my hyper fixation now along with demon slayer.

Hypothetical Rank Ups No. 86-88: Jing Ke

[Okay I know I usually do these in order of Passive - S1 - S2 - S3 - NP, followed by the same priority of the less necessary "EX" rank ups, but I'm gonna move the S1 to last for this because it's a complete ground-up rework that'll take a lot of explaining. So instead it'll be Passive - S3 - NP - S1]

New Passive:

Qin Slayer (Augmented) -Apply Special ATK [Qin] to self (33%). -Immune to Immobilization from [Qin] enemy skills. ((Unlocks after clearing Lostbelt No.3 Section 13))

Self Explanatory really. Honestly EVERY assassin deserves an Oberon style ??? unique skill that reflects the kill(s) that made them famous, particularly since it allows a way to offset the natural damage penalty assassins have to deal with...even though they're, ya know, specialized killers. 33% effectively brings the damage up from a base .9 to a base 1.2, which I think is a fitting enough offset. The immobilization immune is reflective of how things went the second time around between the two in Lb3.

Insolent A -> Insolence Towards the Sun

Increase own Quick Card effectiveness (3 times, 3^ turns).^ Increase own Critical Strength (3 times, 3 turns^). Gain Class Affinity half-advantage against [Ruler] class (3 turns). [Quick scaling increased to 20-40%]

Pretty simple here. As always i cannot overstate how bad Quick has it, and that's made even worse when the only quick buff you have is both 1 turn AND only a max of 30%, so we're raising that slightly to 40% (but with the same base amount of 20%, to place more emphasis on leveling the skill to get its worth) and making both the critical and the quick buff split from one turn, to three attacks across 3 turns. Same number of hits, but with much more flexibility, and that flexibility is needed because if you're using Jing Ke as intended then the new effect makes it so you want this skill active as often as possible, emphasizing individual precise strikes that rely on both specific color and criticals rather than a constant boost to strength

Now against ruler enemies, Jing Ke gains both offensively and defensively the 1.5x advantage that extra classes typically get (such as what Rulers have defending against the standard non-berserker classes, or Alter Egos have when attacking cavalry classes). When combined with their new passive this also means they have near full advantage against any Ruler enemy with the Qin trait at. How oddly specific. 1.8x base damage means by default they're just as effective at taking out a certain peacocking emperor as any berserker, but without the berserker's weak defenses.

Name wise, I'm particularly proud of this one. Not just with the parallel's to Jing Ke's recurring connection to the moon through their poems, but also just the idea of that idea of "Insolent towards authority" taking up a few notches in scale to match them standing up to the "one true human". The idea of standing up to something that's all encompassing and omnipresent, that is the center of the universe, something that is unfathomably bigger than oneself, and still managing to defy it.

All I Do is Kill B+ -> EX-

Deal significant damage to a single enemy. Grants self On-Death buff (2 turns). [Activates First] - When defeated, Decrease NP Gauge by 2 and inflict Stun on a single enemy (1 turn). Reduce your HP by 2000^. [Demerit] [Caution: This can kill Jing Ke if her HP is below 2000!] <Overcharge> Medium chance to apply Death for a single enemy.^ Gain Critical Stars.v Restore a large amount of NP Gauge to yourself. [NP Refund scales with overcharge at 20/28/35/43/50%. Instant Death chance scaling increasing to 50/75/100/125/150%. On Death debuffs will default to last enemy to attack Jing Ke, or failing that the rightmost enemy. If Jing Ke dies from her own NP and the target survives, these effects are applied to the surviving target.]

God Jing Ke's NP ticks me off. Such an emotionally moving concept, such a significant event, and it's just....a mediocre damage single hit NP whose main use might as well be generating a star bomb. I'm not saying its the only NP like that but god it's the one that's always irked me since day 1. So yeah, this one had a LOT of rewrites before I finally settled on what it ended up as.

The damage is unchanged, and we're also getting one of the rare times I'm nerfing the base abilities by bringing the number of crit stars down by 10 to 10/15/20/25/30. Not only was this effect redundant, given they're a triple quick unit with a star bomb skill already, but anything I want to give this NP would be too much if I let them generate THAT many stars, and I very much want to take things in a different direction. You could frankly argue that I should just get rid of the star bomb on NP entirely and the only reason I'm not is because while Jing Ke is a triple quick assassin with a Quick Np on top of that, they have the dreaded year 1 hitcounts - including a 1-hit NP - meaning they're completely gimped for both NP and Star generation So on the subject of NP generation, that's why they get a massive refund on their NP now that effectively makes them Assassin Medea in terms of NP spam, with the same base refund and significantly lower but still notable scaling with overcharge (7.5% as opposed to an entire additional 20% per level). Oh and her other overcharge effect is getting buffed but to have double the level scaling, but...well It's an instant death effect so whatever. So let's just move onto the hook of all this!

Put simply, Jing Ke now has 500-Year Old Obsession on steroids directly built into their NP. Rather than 2 turns NP seal and a useless DOT though, it instead immediately reduces charge by 2, which depending on the situation could be much more or much less useful AND it also ensures it doesnt make the CE obsolete AND even more than that allows the two to stack with each other should you so choose to orchestrate that scenario. Of course, this comes at a cost. The NP actually has a second nerf compared to before....though depending on how you view it, it might not actually be a nerf. Jing Ke now loses double the HP, at 2000 per NP. This combined with their new refund potential means they risk burning through their own HP, even recreating their own death as they strike out at an opponent only to die immediately after. Should they die this way, instead of being based on who last damaged them their grudge will instead target the one they used their NP on (assuming the enemy survived, otherwise it once again defaults to the rightmost enemy remaining).

SO, tldr, their np is now much less about the crit stars and more about spamming it until either Jing Ke or their target dies, and even if the former goes first it's not without the last laugh as they throw a massive wrench into any enemy plans to buy their remaining allies a moment of opportunity. Which is a perfect lead in to Jing Ke's completely reworked first skill:

Restrain A -> The Perfect Moment EX-

Increase own Critical Star Gather Rate by 200% (3 turns). Gain Critical Stars. Apply Ignore Invincible to self (1 time). Apply Evade for yourself (1 time). Apply Target Focus to all allies except self (1 turn). Apply Fated Hour (Opportunity) to self if there are at least two of this unit’s normal command cards available: -Locks currently dealt set of Command Cards (2 turns) -Decrease your Critical Star Gather Rate by 500% (1 turn). -Apply delayed buff: Increase own Quick Card Star Gathering Rate (1 turn). -Apply delayed buff: Gain Critical Stars after 1 turn. -Apply delayed buff: Increase own NP Strength after 1 turn. [10-40%] -Decrease own ATK by 35% (1 turn). [Demerit] [Skill cooldown changed to 9/8/7. Star bomb scales from 5-10, NP Strength up scales from 10-40%]

I love you deck manipulation <3 ...even if you along with the sheer number of other effects are forcing me to increase the skill cooldown by more than i'd like. But hey that's why it's a full on rework i guess. This is the first of a potentially reoccurring effect I've decided to call "Fated Hour." The general idea is Fated Hour always involves either shuffle or deck lock mechanics combined with other effects that reflect an attempt to recreate what could be seen as the servant in question's "zenith" or otherwise pivotal moment in their legend. In Jing Ke's case, they find that once in a lifetime moment to strike a seemingly untouchable enemy, and they take it. Naturally, this has the qualifier that Jing Ke must have the ability to launch a precise attack, meaning Fated Hour will only activate if at least two of Jing Ke's command cards is currently available (which in combination with an NP would mean an Extra Attack chain is available). If not, then the skill's effectiveness is drastically reduced meaning you need to actually plan this out by counting cards to get the skill's real value rather than bank on RNG.

Without Fated Hour, The Perfect Moment becomes, if nothing else, a powerful survival tool. For the current turn target focus is applied to all other allies and Jing Ke gains an evade charge for insurance against the likes of AOE NPs, as well as a single hit of Ignore Invincible for the same indefinite duration as the evade. Fated Hour wouldnt trigger simply from having an NP available, so this could be used to grant Jing Ke a temporary Ignore Invincible ST NP while they have less than the required 2 command cards available. That said, Fated Hour is clearly what everything really revolves around.

Laying in wait among their allies, Jing Ke spends the current turn preparing to strike. They decrease their star gather to nothing, both to prevent their own criticals drawing attention to themselves and to allow their allies a better crit chance. They also give up a hefty amount of their already below-par attack stat this turn in exchange for a an even heftier and much more valued NP strength buff the next turn; the aforementioned survival tools naturally exist to increase the chance they're going to make it to that next turn. This is all naturally in addition to the usual benefits of locking command cards. ...On that note, however, this is where it becomes important to count cards. The ignore invincible applies to the next attack from Jing Ke regardless of whether it is needed. This combined with the fact that fated hour requires you have at least one of Jing Ke's normal cards means in order to get maximum efficacy you'd HAVE to have no more than the minimum requirement of 2 of Jing Ke's cards available. Most of the time you won't need that ignore invincible in theory but the sheer fcking number of bosses they slap it on says otherwise but it'd certainly make dealing with a certain Ruler's NP much easier. How very fitting that they'd remain a particular challenge for Jing Ke to properly assassinate...but either way, Jing Ke will still receive a hearty buff next turn. Their actual attack stat will remain unchanged aside from the aforementioned NP buffs, and they're still reliant on their third skill for Quick and Critical buffs, but they'll have the tools to take full advantage of those buffs with a delayed activation on Restraint's original star bomb and a burst of quick-star-gather. The fact that the gather is color specific of course means there's yet another requirement to optimizing the skill, as you'd ideally need not only 2 of Jing Ke's cards, but specifically 2 of their quick cards for maximum damage. What's more, 10 stars is not enough on its own to guarantee two crits, in fact double that would be needed, so if you dont want to leave it up to chance you'll need to make sure that Jing's allies be it by card or skill can generate an additional 10 stars between turns.

This is all a very long winded way of outlining all the requirements needed to truly take advantage of ALL this skill now offers, but given all the new kit brings it's hopefully worth it. More flexible burst damage, anti-ruler F2P niche, sacrifice tactics, and now quick crit synergy with everything from ignore invincible to deck lock. I dunno if it rounds out to Ten Steps per say, but it's clear that when Jing Ke is allowed proper planning, naught will stay their pace.

Self Indulgent Birthday Post: 2023

notes: Spoilers!, probably. Yay, it's my birthday again! Enjoy some of my finest unfinished work!

Oh? You have both my interest and attention!

Booooo.... (this disappointment brought to you by The Young Brewmaster’s Adventure, which happens to be the prequel to Blood of Youth)

Recap Recycle Bin

So many dramas and never enough time to write a full review. Read on! 

Dominator of Martial Gods

tl:dr for this drama

Each episode is 35 minutes long, feels like 3,500 minutes, and delivers maybe 10 minutes worth of story. Impressive! 

We waste a great deal of time in the first few episodes watching Qin Chen and the bootlicking alchemist refine a needle that will allow our hero to activate his bloodline. Intriguing, because you often hear dramas refer to treasures being refined into weapons, but you never see the process. There's a reason for this- it does not make for compelling viewing. But that does not stop us from standing around arguing about the specs and adding things to the oven. This process was more fun when Chu Wanning just takes you up to the lake. On a technical note, I am enamored of the way the ever present green screened background makes no attempt to be in scale with the human actors.

My Deepest Dream

Ooh, a plot with a time loop, evil birds, superpowers, getting sucked into the Marianas Trench when you just wanted to go on a scuba diving excursion and JIN HAN!!! But, as always, there's a glitch in the matrix.

Our heroine realizes she has lost a year of her life and no one has noticed. No one except the astrophysics PhD candidate turned car mechanic Wu Yu (JIN HAN!!!). Wu Yu divulges that he can read a phone screen at 10 kilometers. But mostly he uses his special eyes to keep an elaborate dossier on the comings and goings of the FL, who lives across the street from the garage he works at. Is that creepy or romantic?

don’t be silly, if it were a Marvel movie we’d be having an interminable CGI sky battle 

Till the End of the Moon

Meet Tantai Jin. As you may have noticed from his costume design, he's totally evil.

He's a goal-oriented CEO who's turned the Devil Sect into a high reliability organization that generates impactful customer experiences (annihilation). I bet he's evil enough to use six sigma. But where Tantai Jin truly shines is personal branding. You may not be buying what he's selling, but product recognition is through the roof.

Tantai Jin seen here working out of his travel office: a flaming, flying boudoir with melting skull detail. This is why CEOs should never make more than 10x what the average worker does.

Circle of Love

I can see why the Republican period was relatively short. Everybody setting fire to each other's estates, staying out late ballroom dancing, getting uniforms tailored, making sure there are enough manacles to chain the female lead to a bed... it doesn't really leave a lot of time for governance.

We start out, as we generally do, with a clean sweep of the FL's family, in this case via a big ol' raging house fire. Where is everyone? Or even anyone? Even Maid's Revenge scraped up some extras to be dead family members.

My Kung Fu Girlfriend

Slow your roll, it ain't GL.

You know what they say- it's not whether you win or lose the MMORPG, it's how you min max all your stats and then act like an ass in chat about it.

Meet Huang Xiao Yu. She clearly did not pay to win because she is the low XP real life martial sister of a kung fu champion. In this drama, she'll level up in love and life with the help of an OP MMO NPC who escapes her game and shows up uninvited in the real world.

The Antarctic Octopus

Not to be confused with the 2020 film Big Octopus. I guess that's the great thing about having an audience of over a billion people- even the most niche interest has plenty of content.

This is how you dress when you visit your Uncle Pete in Antarctica.

In this movie: monsters, explosions, a supercharged ice jalopy and a dedicated ignorance of the laws of physics usually only seen in a Fast and Furious film. But credit where it's due: The Antarctic Octopus delivers. Only 12 seconds in and we get our first tentacle!

available free on youtube although how bravely they were fighting is up for debate

Shining Nikki Characters Music Type Headcanons

Hi, I’m ready to get burned at the stake.

This is all true BECAUSE I SAID SO. I’m not gonna have everybody on this because I’m TiReD and I have ScHoOl WoRk.

Nikki - Pop (she probably likes Bella Poarch and Charlie Puth), listens to classical music just a little bit

Loen - Look me in the eyes and tell me he doesn’t blast The Weeknd at max volume when he’s alone. He also probably is really into Rihanna’s songs (as he should)...and also probably is a huge fan of Dolly Parton and Carrie Underwood (I’m sorry)

Momo - Probably grooves to the Pokemon and Yokai Watch soundtracks.

Aeon - It’s already been confirmed he’s into rock music. Guys let’s introduce him to Twenty One Pilots and Imagine Dragons. He’d also probably be reaaalllyy into Dreamcatcher (k-pop group that has a more rock style)

Marina - Taylor Swift stan.

Helz - Looks like he’s concentrated on a podcast, is actually blasting Opera music through his headphones.

Charmonroe - Strikes me as a musical soundtrack fan (I mean I am too)

Ai - Pop and hip-hop

Vulture - If Mercury likes it, he likes it. If Mercury doesn’t like it, he doesn’t like it.

Zoey - Probably really into jazz and also listens to rock as well.

And now for the most important because I know my fellows simps are clutching their pearls until they see his name (believe me, I would be, too):

Caprico👑- Okay hear me out he’s a k-pop stan (Dreamcatcher, Mamamoo, Aespa, Sunmi, Hyolyn, ATEEZ, Stray Kids, Jessi, BiBi, Taeyeon, Chung Ha and Red Velvet are his main groups/soloists), don’t fight me when I say he listens to Melanie Martinez. He should after V2C12 (IYKYK. WHY DOES VOID FIT HIM SO WELL!?). He’s also probably reaallllyyy into Gorillaz (but is bitter because of the NFTs. Caprico says “no” to NFTs, guys. Be like Caprico and take a stand against NFTs.). I also wouldn’t be surprised if he’s jamming out to Blackbear, Gayle, Dua Lipa, Demi Lovato, XYLO, AViVA, Lady Gaga or Nicky Youre. He’d also probably really like Lizzo, Lil Nas X and Michael Jackson (and maybe Megan Thee Stallion). I don’t make the rules. Caprico just has immaculate taste in music.

Now please lock me in Caprico’s roomba closet where I belong please and thank you.

Boss, I got Junao (and the moth) when the pick up banners were recently released, but I lack the strength to farm for the required skill materials, how do you have the passion to level up both his base and append skills, can ya share any advice or words of encouragement? Thank ya!

Hm. If it’s a ‘I don’t like to grind’ issue you can always try playing while watching tv or something. Even a little a day adds up. If you play on android you could also look into api/blue stacks and see if that’s something that would work bc then you wouldn’t have to manually farm.

I’m going to assume they’re both at least fully leveled rn as that’s the easiest thing to do with the updated dailies, so you’ll still need 163,200,000 qp each if you want to fully max all their normal skills (I’m not touching append skills bc I don’t know how many you’re unlocking but the qp amount is the same)

That’s 326,400,000 qp total, which is a lot, but we should have a nerofest rerun coming up soon and that+grinding in the qp mines should help to cut the different pretty quickly. Also once you level their skills you can do lots of funny things with them way easier >:)

As for materials for skills:

Arjuna alter

Regular skills

Append skills

Qin shi huang:

Regular skills

Append skills

It’s a lot, but again, using nerofest and other events to your advantage should help. I also sometimes just go ‘lol’ and throw pure prisms at the problem if grinding it gets too obnoxious, which you may find is the case with the eggs

It is a lot, but once you do it it’s done and you’ll get fun effects like arjuna alter’s anti evil going from 20% attack up and 30% damage against enemies on a 7 turn cooldown to a 30% attack up and 50% debuffed enemy damage on a 5 turn cool down. Leveling both their batteries is also a good idea as junao’s goes from 20% to 30% and qsh’s goes from 30% to 50% (and both these skills have other effects, this is just an obvious one)

They’re both really good in cqs but I definitely found qsh especially was better once I leveled his skills so as annoying as it can be do your best!! They want to help you so pour a little in….

words to find in WIP(s)

Very late, sorry! Thank you @alectoperdita for tagging me! ♥

Words to find: perfect, dream, summer

How did you pick the absolute spot on words for my WIP! All from my as yet untitled songxiao high school/80s AU:

It was a gloriously sunny day, perfect for the Yunmeng High School graduation ceremony outdoors.

Qin Su’s eyes glistened. “I dream about receiving words like this.”

Color drained from his face, realizing what he just said. To recover, [Song Lan] quickly asked, “Besides kickboxing, do you have any other plans for the summer?”

是你的太師父的莫逆之交

He is your grand master's old friend.

莫逆 is used for very close friends, it has many variation to use, 莫逆之友，莫逆之心，莫逆之間，etc. It describes deep friendship. That they don't care if their word would offend another, anyway they would say anything in their heart.

This phrase came from 莊子 內篇 第6篇, 大宗師 (Zhuangzi Inner-chapter 6, dà zōng shī; the greatest teacher). Where 孔子(Confucius)'s 4 disciples, 子祀(zǐ sì), 子輿(zǐ yú), 子犁(zǐ lí), 子來(zǐ lái), discussed about philosophical riddles.

孰能以無爲首 以生爲脊 以死爲尻

Who dare to define, naught as the head, life as the spine, death as the tail?

孰知死生存亡之一體者 吾與之友矣

Who knows the life and the death; the same, the rise and the fall; the same.

四人相視而笑 莫逆於心 遂相與爲友

Four people had lookd at each other smiling then became friends.

Here 莫逆 the literal meaning is that without clogging. It's just so difficult to explain in english as they don't use much of indeterminate forms for emphasis. It's chinese literary characteristics that there are often multiple negative praises. Sometime the meaning gets complicated that it causes many different interpretations.

Well 莊子 itself is famous being metaphorical that no one would know what it actually means and what was the intention of the author. There are many words which are still used in general life, 莫逆 is one of them. 莊子 contains legends and fairytales of the old china, the book is not that difficult to read but the meaning cab be very philosophical. Poeple say 莊子(Zhuang zi) was a disciple of 孔子(Confucius), I have my timid suspicion about that.

Anyway, 容雀(Long que) was a very close friend of 秦懷章(Qín huái zhāng). Well I wouldn't know their actual story but it seems how Long que has met his wife through Qin huaizhang. 太師父 to grand master is just so hilarious suddenly all nuance became star wars. 🥲

I'm guessing that Zhou zishu being a noble, He must had read 十三經 or at least 四書; 論語 孟子 大學 中庸. Then why is he keep quoting from other than those? Did he like to read? Or is that the influence from Qin huaizhang? ༼༎ຶ෴༎ຶ༽ Is it only me? Zhou zishu clothes look like Max Mara.

Ya know what i can think of a way for the Assassin class attack debuff to be justifiable. I’m posting it like this cause i probably wont employ it universally in my HRUs - it’s more a “how this issue couldve been avoided day 1”.

Basically: Every Assassin gets an oberon style ??? passive that either buffs them against or inflicts debuffs on a specific/unique trait based on who they’re famous for killing, be it an individual or group of people.

Whether this is a Special ATK passive like Muramasa’s anti-king passive or more support oriented like Oberon’s buff to allied foreigners, as well as whether its self buff or enemy debuff, would on the Assassin in question and who they have a bonus against. One crucial thing is that if it went the route of attack buffs, they’d need to be big enough to outweigh their natural class modifier.

To give some examples:

Jing Ke has an attack buff or ignore defense when attacking [allies of the Qin dynasty]

Sanson has an attack buff or increased Buster Effectiveness against King, and max Overcharge against [Marie Antoinette]

Kojiro has increased star generation when attacking Sabers and decreases enemy swordsmen crit rate, and an anti-Musashi buff

Gramps has guarenteed instant death chance against other [Hassans], increased attack against Assassins and [Heretics], buffs the instant Death success rate for all hassan allies.

Jack drains hp on hit when attacking female or [mother] characters

Mata Hari is less likely to be attacked by [soldiers] and/or male enemies

Paraiso has an attack and defense buff against Dragons and [Serpents]

Semiramis has boosted attack, defense, crit star drop, and NP gain against poisoned enemies.

Etc, etc, etc.

[max--phillips]

The droid fight 🫠 it’s unfair he’s so hot

Ah Matt Lanter

“Are you questioning my managerial style Xi’an?” Max Phillips sounding ass

Xi’an really girlbossed gatekept gaslit her way out of that one tbh

Too Much of a Good Thing

I've been on this FGO grind for a few months now and it has been absolutely ridiculous. The speed that I've been leveling up does not match the pace of difficulty in this game. Like, i finally got my Mordred and have already leveled her to ninety-two, maxed out her attack and health, sans the limit break because f*ck the drop rate for those Solaris and Meteor Fous. Those things are the real Holy Grails in this game because, yeesh. My Mordred is nowhere near the powerhouse she used to be but the grind is progressing along just peachy. I'll get there, eventually, but it's going to be a goddamn problem because, holy sh*t, where are all the goddamn Servants?

It's been around four months or so since i decided to dip my toes back into this hellscape of a game and i still lack firepower in a big ass way. I've probably spent around two hundred bucks on it,which is a far cry from what i spent on my first account, and i have next to nothing to show for it. Sure, i got my Mordred but that was a gift. You get the opportunity to pick a single, five-star Servant after you complete one of those levels. I think the USA one but i can't remember. Either way, of course i picked Mordred and the rest of my roster has been at the mercy of the gacha and these motherf*ckers have not been kind. I mean, they have, to an extent, but, like, in an awkward as way. Almost every other mobile game I've played, the gacha has been relatively forgiving with a pity system. Some are better than others (Azur Lane is borderline agreeable) but Fate/Grand Order is not. These motherf*ckers almost never drop a five-star and all of the four-stars are SUBSTANTIALLY weaker. It's not even a joke.

More than that, all i f*cking pull is Sabers! Look, Saber is my favorite Class, Mo-chan, but let's be real right now: You can't win this game with an army of Sabers, even if they are strong as f*ck. If an Archer is even close to a Saber's level, that Saber is going to die a dog's death and, guess what? The first fight in Camelot, exactly where i am right now, are f*cking Archer class Evil Eyes! I have no gold Lancers, whatsoever. None. That means the highest level Lancer i have is a goddamn three-star and that ain't sh*t. I've been making a run at the Banners whenever i can and all i got was f*cking Craft Essences. That's where all my five-star pulls went, to support cards. How ridiculous is that? I have some of the strongest support cards in the game, laughably overpowered buffs like Noble Phantasm charged at eighty percent plus a solid attack boost, and no goddamn servants worth equipping them to outside of Mordred, Cleopatra, and goddamn Altira! The f*ck, dude?

Seriously, once you count those three, toss in an Oberon, Osakabihime, Berserker Vlad III, and Qin Shi Huang, the rest of my five-star Servants are Sabers! All of them. I pulled a Sigurd and an Okita Souji. Of my nine five-stars, four of them are goddamn Sabers! Are you kidding me? Spread the goddamn love, yo! Like, i have two, five-star Assassins and no Casters! The strongest Caster i have? Four-goddamn-stars! I'm glad i pulled Cleo, she's arguably the strongest Assassin I've ever popped outside of King Hassan, but what the f*ck? Anastasia exists and i can't even attempt to to pull her because she's locked behind Lostbelt progression and i don't have the strength to even attempt those goddamn stories yet! Archer is even worse. I alluded to it earlier but the strongest Archer i have is a goddamn three-star! Literally, so many on my roster are three-star trash, i can't even cope. How am i supposed to beat this game with garbage like this? I swear to god it's on purpose because the only way to make any of this better is to hit those Banners hard and, with these pathetic drop rates, you absolutely have to spend loot to get the necessary Saint Quarts. Fate/Grand Order is a whole ass scam and I can't even stay away. I always find my way back to this sh*tshow because I adore Type-Moon that much.
