thinking about kab and the thing about her i think is she knows just enough to keep herself safe Generally but not enough to really predict what would happen should something more... complicated??? unforeseen??? idk whats the right word to use but something not covered by someones reputation and/or vids happen, believe it or not this also affects her view of clownpierce (we'll get to that)
for example, mapicc has a reputation for being an violent, angry, & impulsive guy and nothing else which makes sense but is incredibly surface level and something that only really works if you dont have a lot of experience working with him
another is reddoons, his betrayal after the base incident while shocking is not unforeseen but his reputation as being a guy whos seen as being a reasonable person whos fairly loyal to his team made it seem like something he wouldnt do even tho it absolutely is
regarding how it affects her view of clown, since he isnt perfectly aligned with his reputation she instead pivots in the complete opposite direction and forgiving basically every crime he does even tho hes something much more mild and complicated than either his reputation or her view of him will ever be (think madonna-whore complex which is especially obvious when it comes to kabs vs woogies view of him)
another side effect of this Just Enough amount of knowledge aside from being blinded by her own expectations is that it frustrates ppl who think shes oversimplificating things (like me and seemingly several other tumblr users as well) especially when she claims that shes objectively correct and the smartest in the room at any given moment
how this roughness in her analysis affects her in the server still has yet to be fully seen but we do still have at least a couple months until the end but 'til then shes just gonna keep stumbling as more and more complicated situations pop up as is typical in lifesteal to happen and eventually shes gonna have to learn to adapt or else she'll be suffering the consequences one way or another
#mine.txt#analysis#ig. this is very rough tho and is more just thoughts than anything#but i wanted a tag so i can get back to this later to see how right or wrong i am#another thing that affects this is the cc/c divide which is something she likes to take control of#one of the ways it manifests is that she likes to go in and out of it frequently which can be incredibly distracting#esp if youre someone like me who wants the lsers to just. be themselves and get immersed in whats happening around them#and it doesnt help that her and her character can have Very different feelings on a situation#basically the cc/c divide or at least how kab likes to use it affects the way she acts because shes got an idea in her head already#of what to think of the other ppl in the server which makes her inflexible when unexpected things come up#as opposed to when shes just being herself reacting to things#which is unfortunate but i think reflects on how outsiders vs insiders view lifesteal#the reality vs expectations of the audience are so incredibly different esp if you only watch the vids#so much so that while watching kabs vid my initial reaction was that she wasnt as big a ls fan as i originally thought#then realized no this seems like the exact sort of thing id expect from someone whos only seen the vids; particularly of the pvpers#(specified pvpers cause only watching the pvpers vs other kinds of players on the server are Very different experiences)#tho the thing about kab is she Does have insider knowledge!#.... mainly from ppl who dont log on a lot (ash and clown and maybe squiddo)#so naturally thats gonna give her a biased view of how the server works one way or another#the exception to this would be zam telling her about eclipse federation but i think either she doesnt know or severely underestimated#just how much lying; manipulation; keeping secrets; and yap sessions built on incompatible motives and morals happened#that made s4 the way it is not only in game but outside of it as well#''we're at our best when we hate each other irl'' - reddoons according to zam

"Aw it's so cute to be held by a giant, cuddled by a giant, taking care of you as a tiny, fearplay yadda yadda"
BORING! Give me give me, um, tiny lost in a giant world fighting for survival! Give me tinies seeing giants as threats! Running away! Having their life in danger! Give me epic fantasy adventures involving beings of different sizes! Give me futuristic settings with giant aliens who are enemies or allies, give me different cultures between the sizes, and tinies or giants adjusting to new worlds! Give me human-turned giants who feel out of touch with their humanity as they're regarded as freaks or monsters. Give me humans finding secret fairy villages, humans finding secret giants in the forests, or even accidental city rampage!
Give me drama, conflict, angst, but most of all, give me giant/tiny adventures!
#tldr even though the fluffy concepts are great they fall flat for me when they're not in an interesting story#Make me care for your world make me immersed in it!#I love g/t scenarios in general but the ones that are attached to an interesting story are the best#Make interesting things happen to your characters!#It's funny how such a fantasy trope like g/t is so tied to contemporary settings and slow pacing#I feel like we're deeply lacking more adventurous g/t stories!#But maybe that's just me#coffeh rambles#g/t community#g/t discussion#giant/tiny#g/t

today on random languages my brain is going 👀 at is biblical hebrew and biblical greek
#the following tags will have discussions of my faith and christianity in general so if you're not interested in that then stop reading ig#some lore: in my early teens i did consider doing a theology degree at uni and becoming an ordained minister/taking a role in the church#this was before i found out a) in my denomination only men can be ministers (deaconesses exist but yeah) and b) the church as an institutio#is pretty yikes#and then finding out i'm queer and nonbinary threw other spanners in there but despite it all my faith is still so so important to me#i want to start learning about christian/comparative theology more broadly to understand both my own faith and others' better#idk why but today i randomly ended up on the webpage for the theological college in NI and was just looking through the courses they offer#maybe someday in the distant future i'll have the money and time to burn to do an online postgrad degree with them#but yeah they have a postgrad certificate in biblical greek 👀 which looked v cool#the internet is a wonderful place and i found a pretty comprehensive looking biblical hebrew course on youtube and i'd probs be able to fin#biblical greek somewhere if i looked hard enough#greek and hebrew are both such linguistically interesting languages and being able to read some would also help in my theological adventure#so new side quest just dropped ig? at least it's my reading week this week so I can dabble in them with no consequences#i've also been wanting to try and learn a language via an immersion focus - obvs can't do full immersion with biblical greek and hebrew but#yeah using a less grammar and vocab focused approach than i'm used to#i have access to digital bibles so i could just choose a v literal english translation and then try and parse what's happening?#yeah we'll see#langblr#ellis exclaims

my first playthrough I would grow out arthurs hair and beard each chapter then chop it all off when the gang would move camps in order to avoid being recognized for immersion sake…now I only care about how he looks for taking screenshots
#like FORGET about autbenticity and immersion#I’m playing a dress up game and I want him to have a trimmed beard#I dont even think it makes that big of a difference#I do try to take care with his clothes#like if I’m committing a crime I will wear a hat + mask and no jacket if possible#then I ditch the hat for going around town and have different coats to make sure I look more civilian#maybe my next playthrough I will dial more in with being immersive and have different looks to avoid bounties#idk I like him looking a certain way#rdr2#red dead redemption 2#arthur morgan#my posts

Sometimes I am reminded that Finn has his own theme song and that it is played numerous times throughout the movie. And I especially love that it is played with different inflections and tones throughout the movie ad well, it is more hushed/intense and has different instruments playing depending on what the events going on are. Like this man has a whole bit orchestrated around him.
I really enjoy rewatching the movie and trying to listen for the orchestra and when different songs are playing because there are not a lot of quite parts of the movie where there ISNT music playing even if it doesn't get noticed half the time.
#I listen to the orchestra individually sometimes. The naming scheme they used for the songs are so funny to me cause it's literally just-#the name of what scene is happening when it is played.#I actually like more quiter movies better where there isnt a lot of instrumental playing over anlot of it which makes me really tempted to-#stjck the whole movie- or at least some specific parts- into one of those acapella music apps where it removes the instruments in the-#-background. I actually have an app I really like and would be perfect for that!#POV you watch me turn the entire Cars 2 movie into an immersive irl podcast /half joking#Actually maybe I SHOULDNT do that cause I am going to go bonkers closing my eyes and imagining even more now.#Cause it'll be extra immersive and like I'm there cause the orchestra music isn't there to tug me out of it a bit.#Looks like I know one thing I will be doing this weekend..#self ship#selfship#selfshipping#self shipping#any💘

THINK OF ANYTHING. ABOUT PIERS PLOWMAN.#and the teacher for that class is so nice and chill and she was like you can pick anything at all. and i went with piers plowman#like it's interesting but from what COGNITIVE angle can i approach piers plowman.#ive been thinking about saying exactly this that piers plowman is more for historical linguists and theologists than narratologists but im#also positive plenty of scholars read piers plowman for the plot#so then i thought about the characters and whether you can Connect with them and whether they help you Immerse yourself in the story and#other terminology i learned in cognitive literary studies class.#theyre allegorical and very 1 dimensional and there could be something about whether we from 2024 understand them in the same way#people from the 14th century did. like this was what i put in my proposal when i made it#but now i actually have to make the slides and use cognitive literary papers for this and it's just not going at all. i cant do it.#i cant do anything i cant enjoy the daylight and the warmer weather i cant think about anything other than im not making progress on this#and it's bad for me!! it's bad for my health i feel bad. why did i go with piers plowman why did i not pick watership down#my post#i have plenty to say about watership downm cognitively.#also about old possums book of practical cats#maybe i could email her and tell her id like to change it.. no#ive also been reading the tombs of atuan which is incredible

So tonight I ended up getting really sucked into 7’scarlet an Otome game illustrated by the fe three houses illustrator chinatsu kurahana, where the first character I romanced is the guy who is not only voiced by subaru mr ensemble stars but sounds and acts exactly like subaru - but less normal…………
He even looks like subaru. HIS DAD IS DEAD TOO. This is crazy.
The story so far is surprisingly tense and creepy at times. I was really drawn into the mystery but also every characters natural voice acting and dynamic with each other. It’s really good so far guess I gotta 100% this one…
There’s even a guy who kind of acts and looks like chiaki ensemble stars. This game really combines my interests lol
#7’scarlet#update I genuinely feel too tense to sleep now like I LIKE HIM A LOT I LIKE HIS MENTAL ILLNESS BUT#and I love how we don’t really try to help him improve it’s just like#‘yeah you’re sincerely unstable but that’s ok ❤️’#‘in fact you should act in more unhealthy ways toward me ❤️ this is a normal relationship’#doesn’t seem ethical but that’s the genre I guess…#maybe I got a bit mentally unstable myself too immersed in the story. I DONT FEEL SAFE ENOUGH TO SLEEP LMAO

jpmd update post #6! for some reason i thought we were further than 6 by now
EVEN LONGER THAN USUAL!!!!!!! also today's post is ENTIRELY about the bidoof special episode because that is all i did today!
as always, cool observations and thoughts first:
PRONOUN TRACKER:
bidoof's mama calls him お前, he calls her 母ちゃん, his little brother calls him 兄ちゃん(あんちゃん); bidoof's mama calls herself 私 and お母ちゃん
the camerupt npc called him あんた, marowak called him おめえ, the slakoth/slowpoke team called him きみ
jirachi (!) calls himself 僕 and calls bidoof きみ before properly waking up and learning his name (after that i believe he only calls him bidoof-さん)
not a pronoun but doesn't fit anywhere else; as mentioned in previous posts, bidoof uses あっし and でゲス which are both words i've never heard anywhere else, and he has a relatively unique voice/accent in english, so i was on the lookout for more unusual language, but...there wasn't too much...he did say "兆枚" which jisho tells me is a rare term, and when talking to the kecleons he also said "こんちは" and "すまない," the 2nd of which is essentially the same as すみません but i'd never heard it before (i think) so it was cool
ALSO not a pronoun but doesn't fit anywhere else - this was probably happening in past sessions but today in particular i noticed how many npcs use かい to ask questions (teddiursa, kangaskhan, corphish) which was kind of reassuring because the only other time i've EVER seen かい is in one singular song on my entire japanese playlist and i was almost doubting that it was a real thing lol
FUN AND SILLY DIALOGUE NOTES
the slakoth/slowpoke npc team has some funny dialogue early in the episode where they go "aren't you the guy who screws up all the time?" (textbox ends, new box starts) "yeah...us too"
marowak dojo is "ガラガラ dojo" - ガラガラ meaning (among many things) "rattle/clatter," "rough (personality/speech)," AND "almost empty/uninhabited/etc." which is kind of perfect - the clatter of bones, the rough personality of marowak, and the emptiness of the dojo...i understand why the localization team didn't bother with a stylized translation and just called it "marowak dojo" in english lol how could you capture all of those things the same way in english?
also, one thing i didn't know - if you visit marowak in this episode, he goes on a very long ramble about how the dojo has failed and it's kind of funny you showed up on the last day before he closes it, and then he gives you a reviver seed (!). also in that speech, he lengthens practically all of his vowels and says "ぜーーったい にーーーーーーー" and "だよーーーーーー!!!" a lot and sounds like an anime character lol
bidoof ends a LOT of his sentences with かね which gives him a really...like it makes him sound really unsure of himself lol poor guy
at the end, when he made his wish, he said he wanted "かわいい こうはいs" - i don't remember what he says in english here but i remember when he meets the protag team he gets teary eyed and refers to them as "juniors" and "rookies," and of course at the end of the special episode you watch your team chatting happily with each other while bidoof watches, teary-eyed again, from the side, and it was...very endearing...i do think this is something that might have gotten lost in translation because once i read かわいいこうはい i went "oh!" and knew exactly what he meant, it gives him more of a big brotherly feeling in relation to the protags, which is pretty cute when you remember he's the big bro of 2 siblings back home...almost like he missed being in that せんぱい sort of position :') it really recontextualized his relationship to the protags for me, very endearing
SPECIAL SECTION JUST FOR SNOVER/GLIGAR/BAGON
this group was FAAASCINATING to watch. they were NASTY. but of course, snover puts on a front at first, and i'll say i think the fact that japanese has specific and more strongly marked registers for (im)politeness made the big reveal much starker than in english
PRONOUNS: bagon said "俺たち" implying 俺 for himself, called bidoof お前, called snover きさま (!) before the reveal and お前 afterwards, pre-reveal he also called snover "そこのお前" lit. "you there" which made me giggle because that's what street fight NPCs say in yakuza games lol
PRONOUNS PART 2: bidoof called bagon/gligar "お前たち" in the reveal and called snover "きみ" before it; pre-reveal, snover used "僕" and lots of "でしょう"/"ません," post-reveal he switched to "俺さま"/"snover-さま" (omfg), he also started calling bidoof お前 (see above - super formal language vs. super...not...)
OTHER BITS: snover used assertive sentence ender さ, gligar used ぜ (very masculine and a bit rough/forceful/sneaky), snover used "ねえ" instead of ない which adds even more colloquiality, all 3 of them interchangingly used "な" and "ろ" command forms, both of which can be (and in this case, were) impolite. (this was very well timed because i JUST studied command forms this morning!)
BONUS OTHER BITS: gligar taught me a couple new words: "やがる," which is attached to a verb to show that the speaker has disdain/contempt/hatred for what someone else is doing, and "このやろう," which is rude to the point of being listed as "you bastard/son of a bitch" in jisho. also, ALL THREE OF THEM used くそ, and interestingly, くそ was always written in hiragana and always followed by a small つ pause, which was in katakana. weird!
i was genuinely surprised by how nasty their language was, even worse (way worse) than team skull (at least so far). but it was pretty effective writing! nasty fellas!
general notes: this was easily the best play session ive had so far, like, bar none. maybe its because i studied a lot yesterday and i had some residual smartness or maybe ive just made a lot of real progress but today i felt like i was FLYING through most of the sentences, and concepts/constructs i was mildly-to-moderately familiar with suddenly became so much easier to get!!! and the best part is that i've only played sky once, so unlike the rest of the game, i DON'T have hard-coded memories of the special episodes and their associated dialogue; all i had to go on here was what i remember from playing the game like 3ish years ago + the synopsis on bulbapedia (i was checking to see how long it is because i was getting tired lol). so, i'm REALLY PROUD OF MYSELF for basically wading into (young) native-level material that i'm only kinda familiar with and understanding it so well!!!!!! today was great!!!! i've never felt so 日本語上手!!!!!!!!! ^_^
GOOD SENTENCES (realistically i should put like 75% of the episode here, but i can't, so just some of the best instead)
(all translations are freehanded by me since i don't remember the real english dialogue lol)
90+% of the conversation between chatot and bidoof at the beginning of the episode. seriously i barely looked at the dictionary at all during this part and i could tell what they were saying and what the feeling was WHEEEE i'm so happy
"プクリンのギルドをそつぎょうできりゃあんたりっぱなたんけんかになれるよ" (said by camerupt to bidoof) = "if you can graduate from wigglytuff's guild, you can become a magnificent explorer" (lit. "wigglytuff's guild OBJ graduation DO-POTENTIAL-CONDITIONAL you magnificent exploration TARGET become-POTENTIAL-NONPAST NEW"
"じつはあっしってなにをやるにしても。。。どうもどんくさいようで。。。いつもギルドでしっぱいばかりしてるんでゲス" (said by bidoof to himself at the shop) = "really, no matter what i try/do, i always seem stupid/clumsy...at the guild, i do nothing but fail..." (lit. "reality TOPIC i QUOTE what OBJ do TARGET do-EVEN-IF...awfully stupid/clumsy likeness COPULA-CONN...always guild LOC failure nothing-but do-EXIST-IN-STATE EXPLANATORY (COPULA)")
^ proud of myself for understanding the sentence structure here, i think my particle-understanding and structure recognition are both improving by leaps and bounds
"いつかこんなひがくるかとおもってね。。。まえからすこしずつためてたんだよ。なにかこまったことがあったらつかっておくれ" (said by bidoof mom to him when giving him $) = "i figured this day would come eventually...i've been saving up money bit by bit for a long time. if you get into trouble, use it, okay?" (lit. "someday (when QUESTION) this-kind-of day SBJ come-NONPAST QUESTION QUOTE think-CONN SHARED...before since a-little-bit piece-by-piece save-up-EXIST-IN-STATE-PAST EXPLANATORY (COPULA) NEW. something (what QUESTION) trouble (troubled thing) SUBJECT exist-CONDITIONAL use-CONN-???)
^ i thought the "おくれ" on the end was from regular old "おく" but...maybe it's not...? maybe it's an irregular conjugation? i don't know...
"あっしはきがよわいからああいうやからとはあまりかかわりたくないでゲスよ。。" (said by bidoof to himself watching bagon/gligar pretend to harass snover) = "since i'm so timid, i really don't want to get involved with that group..." (lit. "i TOPIC ki SUBJECT weak since (distant)that-kind-of say-NONPAST group QUOTE TOPIC excess get-involved-with-WANT-NEGATIVE COPULA NEW...")
^ i'm endlessly fascinated by all the collocations of 気. i know it's usually translated as spirit, energy, mind, etc. but lately i've been experimenting with thinking of it as just the original chinese qi/chi concept (at least i assume that's what it is.....erm) and taking the collocations literally and it works surprisingly well - in this case "since my qi is weak..."
"いちりゅうのたんけんかになるというあっしのゆめもかなえてくれるかもしれないんでゲス!" (said by bidoof to himself while chatot tells him about star cave) = "maybe even my dream of becoming a first-rate explorer can be granted!" (lit. "first-rate CLASS exploration QUESTION TARGET become-NONPAST QUOTE say-NONPAST i POSSESSIVE dream EVEN grant-CONN-give-down-NONPAST QUESTION EVEN(?) know-POTENTIAL-NEG EXPLANATORY (COPULA)!"
^ how many particles do we need man???????
"ただ。。。あのばでちからまかせにうばうとさわぎになる。" (said by snover to bidoof in the cave) = "but...if we went full power and took it by force out there...there would've been an uproar." (lit. "but...that place LOC using-all-one's-strength ADV take-by-force-NONPAST CONDITIONAL uproar TARGET become-NONPAST")
^ i think i'm getting better at recognizing what と is doing in any given sentence, which is great because i hate how many functions it has, and my grasp of conditionals is getting stronger too! i kind of appreciate how japanese does it similarly to english (vs. spanish) - but that's a topic for another post
#mine#the bottom section of this post looks like shit sorry tumblr formatting is ass#sorry this is just a giant wall of text lol that's the way it goes#anyway i feel really smart!!!!! >:)#this took up like. most of my day atp lol i'm so tired now...and hungry too...going to relax all night#maybe play more y4 or maybe minecraft or maybe neither i really dont know#but i deserve a break...ahh#pokemon fushigi no diary#next post we'll be back with the boys and maybe even starting the expedition...look forward to it (cause i sure am)!!!!!#i was thinking the special episodes can be like mini checkpoints for progress tracking#since i don't know their dialogue in advance like i do with the rest of the game#they're like little mini tests for me to see how good i am at spontaneously understanding japanese#rather than understanding japanese with a translation already in my hand#btw the reason i type everything in hiragana here even tho i could use kanji is just cause thats what i see ingame#i want it to be accurate...no help from kanji in the post if thats not what i got ingame#i actually think the forced-kana thing is doing me a huge favor in terms of recognizing and differentiating words#when i started playing it was hard to tell where a word ended and a particle began#but now im like pro at it#immersion really does wonders doesnt it lol

OH OH OH OH OH FULL NAME FULL NAME AKANE KISHIDA
I figured she was the one to get in touch first based on Jo knowing she wanted to see her son, but I have SO many questions about that... how does she know her son survived... how does she know Ichiban was her son and not Aoki... how does she know who Jo is and how to contact Jo... (<- tearing my hair out as we speak)
Anyway when you have the opportunity please view the gameplay footage...
obsessed how its addressed to Mr. Jo Sawashiro i dont know why that detail tickles me... thats cute..
chicken-and-egg kinda deal with Who Contacted Who first. like id ASSUME sawashiro'd get in contact with her first if he was feeling guilty enough about The Whole Situation and was willing to dig into arakawa's past imo, esp since akane wouldn't have any reason (or ability to) know who he was until after he joins the yakuza.. and i mean.. shes long gone by then.. tho that's assuming they got in contact early on and they didnt JUST start communicating within the past few years.
BUT EITHER WAY just gotta wait and see for it all to play out.. in three months <- still cant believe its coming out january 26th 👁���💋👁️
youtube
IM OBSESSED WITH THE GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE im soooo glad i was right in how they were going to handle the style change aspect (though i guess it wasnt a hard thing to predict but still..). I LOVE HOW KIRYU CAN ACTUALLY ROAM FREE THAT'S SO COOL i remember people kept speculating on how the gameplay was gonna go with how different ichi and kiryu's playstyles are and this is SUUCH a rad way to answer that question. my excitement is immeasurable and im gonna throw up
#snap chats#lest i neglect chitose's fighting style looks SICK. the neck stomp did remind me of juri han sorry im sick in the head EITHER WAY#the ballet skills... explains why she seems so skinny tbh. like maybe im delusional but i feel like her model is Extra slim yk#i hope im right... oh but speaking of diversity i love how they got people speaking english#Typical Westerner Answer Is Typical IM JUST SAYING its a nice immersion aspect. also im nosy let me eavesdrop#-5 points on the immersion aspect for the fact katy didnt immediately apologize after ichi bumps into her#any american would start profusely apologizing excuse you. BUT SPEAKING OF MOVEMENT#maybe its too early to make this assessment but i like how more concise ichi's walking is#back in Y7 one issue i had was just how.. not 'slippery' he was but it certainly felt like his shoes didnt have any traction#but now he seems to walk more precisely. hope im right....#crazy eats looks so fun... they have no idea who theyre playin with when my dumbass has all these tony hawk and jet set radio hours#im rambling on too much i still have to answer your other ask LMAO thank you for writin in an sendin the gameplay demo :]

wait your beatles era is over? it was so fun eventhough i follow for death note content it just made my day seeing you enjoying something so much! :]
Awww no well it's not OVER over, as in I still really like them and will retain everything I learned about them during the last 3 or 4 months and still follow a lil handful of my fave Beatles blogs on here. It's just over as in I don't feel the need to fill my dash with literally hundreds of Beatles blogs or finish reading every giant biographer's tome I started reading about them anymore or wtv. And obvs you can always chat to me about them and still see me occasionally post about them! But thank you for saying so anyways haha
#i feel like after learning a good bit of the band's lore#that most of the fandom info i see about them now is the same thing recycled over and over again#and a lot of super serious takes and intense stances that i dont often feel as strongly serious about myself#not just on tumblr but also on beatles subreddits and everywhere else#so for me there just came a point of diminishing returns a few months in#at which immersing myself in the fandom chatter that heavily stopped feeling continuously rewarding or something#one of the main things im taking away from my 2024 beatles phase is probably that im going to be genuinely sad when paul mccartney dies now#i dont honestly think there is any other celebrity i've actually felt that way about for the past ten years or so but goddammit#he just grew on me a lot the more i learned about the band#i also think it's very cool that 2 of the fab 4 are still kickin now! and i hope they stick around for a long while yet#and i also urge anybody who hasnt obsessed over the beatles yet#but has been flirting with the idea of maybe getting into the beatles someday#to do it now while some of them are still alive#it's never too late and it just makes it all way more cool and fun to learn about them and hey#you might even still have the chance to see paul or ringo perform live#if that turns out to be something you want to do#ask#anon#p

i look for irl friends everywhere but its always. my fucking coworkers. like inevitably the place im gonna find my best friends isnt gonna be through school or hobbies its the other ppl who are also working alongside me for just above minimum wage.
#idk if its the minimum wage thing or the job field im in. maybe something about a kitchen job just attracts the coolest ppl ever#either way kind of hate that development of my social life is always dependent on like. having to work for money#but it kinda selects for ppl i can get along w ig. like dawg i just cannot be friends w rich ppl#never could relate to like. the stereotype of highschool rich bullies who make fun of u for being weird an poor cuz like#most ppl at my highschool were also pretty poor but. kind of feel like im encountering that in my adult life#like either theyre stuck up an dont wanna interact w me at all#or im like. trying to connect w someone who thinks its normal that both their parents own a tesla#having friends who are like. poor or who were also in foster care is kind of more important to me#than having other friends who are queer i realized#like. i just have more in common w someone raised by their grandparents who isnt that familiar w queer culture#than i do w someone immersed in the culture whos parents make 100k#but i mean now i sorta have both im no longer the only queer in the kitchen#my boss is like the most badass dykiest dyke ive ever seen#i mean im gonna keep trying to find non-worker friends though. my boss told me i should go to a gay bar skfhjgsdj

Side note I find it really funny when I sometimes see posts of people discovering the Johnny mirror glitch and going "Oh wow I've played the game so much and I've never seen this before!" because I kid you not there was a point in time where I'd want to use the mirror to change up Riley's looks and there was a 50% chance I would proc the mirror glitch without wanting to
#Aldi speaks#I think this was around 1.6 launch when they added the new cosmetics in#I'd want to switch Riley's looks for photomode or immersion or just to test new shit and I'd groan SO LOUD when the glitching started#Once I got it twice in a row. TWICE.#I got it so often I just sort of believed that it wasn't rare and that it was a 50-50 shot#Granted I probably used the mirror more than most for the same of changing appearances around so often#But CDPR must've lowered the rate or fixed a glitch because I don't get it nearly as often these days#Even for my newest post it only took 2 times to proc. Maybe the game just loves me idk

sometimes things arent the exact way i want them to be in my paracosm and i never know how to fix it. its so stupid. theres four different 'realms' but i tied them too much to the four elements and now my brain is upset because theyre one thing when i want them all to be their own independent fantasy worlds filled with lots of different things. and it should be simple to fix it. but it is not. because my brain is a horrid place to be. and something about bens characterization is bothering me but i dont know what it is. something something he needs to be more willing to bend the rules? its difficult because i want him to think in a very black-and-white way but he'd also see the world in shades of gray and i dont know how to put both of those ideas into one person
#basically things are Wrong and Not How They Should Be and my brains throwing a tantrum about it. like always#maybe ben is okay giving other people the benefit of the doubt but when he messes up in some way its the worst thing in the world?#so he only rlly sees his actions in black-and-white. and perhaps other heros too#kind of would be funny if he was willing to give villains more leeway then actual heroes#but it also makes sense in a way? because heroes are Supposed to be good people? theyre not Allowed to fuck up#idk. bye#paracosm#immersive daydreaming#paraportal#maladaptive daydreaming#maladaptive daydreamer#madd paras

Can't wait to know what inspired Aabria to use split screen so we have full view on the duos speaking but no idea what the reactions of the others are...
#i mean it's more immersive and technically the others aren't around to react so it makes sense but the live reactions/tea is always good#maybe it was to give us simp material#candela obscura#critical role candela obscura#circle of tide and bone
