#mine: suspicion

[blackboard-monitor]

there’s this tiktok trend where women roughly my age (late 20s to early 30s) are posting their wedding inspiration pinterest boards from when they were teenagers, and that has been shocking to me because the idea of teenage girls spending so much time and energy on planning hypothetical weddings is really bizarre and concerning to me, and also not something i ever encountered in my own teenage friend groups 

so, out of scientific curiosity, could you reblog this and tell me what country you’re from, and whether or not you spent time imagining or planning your future wedding when you were a teen (and if you’re comfortable, what gender you identified as at the time)

hm, y'know, I'm not sure how I feel about Elden Demon's Dark Die Twice Nite Verwatch RingBorne III tbh

I'm like, getting mild Torment Nexus vibes from that one lady and the suspicious dragon rider in the trailer

That said, the general vibe I get from everything I've heard from it so far is just "Silly arcade-y non-canon roguelike to play with your friends" so I think it may very well just be an It's Not That Deep sort of situation here

Inktober day 7: Alien

“Stop looking at me”

I can’t tell if the eyes belong to me or everyone else. Like I’m the weird thing with many eyes, seeing everyone watch me, or everyone’s eyes are on me.

as much as I want an all bisexual cast of characters, you guys do realise that "bringing back divisive da2 approach" and "allowing you to romance whoever you want" might just mean rival romance... they might just mean you can romance anyone regardless of approval/how much they like you that second statement could also simply mean that all 7 companions are romanceable so "you can romance whoever you want" unlike in other da games where people always complained "why isn't x character a romance option?" but that does not necessarily mean we will be able to romance da4 companions with a player character of any gender :((( (or even any race ... if they somewhat follow the dai example)

it's more of a reminder for myself, but anyway... flower dance

easiest: Shane (talk and give him pizza on 19th, 20th, 21th, 22th)

easy: Harvey, Sam, Leah (loved gifts sold at the saloon) talk everyday since day 1 and give loved gifts until 4 hearts (don't know for how long, never tried, too lazy to calculate)

also kinda easy: Haley (talk everyday give all the daffodils esp on a birthday)

easy, but need everyday work (parsnip seduction): Alex, Sebastian, Emily, Maru, Penny

need to go to the mines, so it's a bother: Abigail parsnip won't work, rain

pray to Yoba for good luck: Elliott

parsnip seduction

4 hearts worth 1000 friendship points

focus on one person

talk with the target every single day (except during special animation, like when Seb is smoking) 24 days 20 pts each = 480 pts

plant 15 parsnips on day 1, get the recipe for basic fertilizer after the first harvest. then plant no less than 20 parsnips with it. you should get at least 3 gold quality parsnips

give your target two gifts every week. in total, you must give 8 gifts: 5 normal quality and 3 gold quality parsnips (5 normal 45 pts each; 3 gold 56 pts each. this is 393 pts. plus 10 pts every sunday for gifting 2 gifts last week, so it's an additional 30 pts)

complete the introduction quest 100 pts

so you get a total of 1003 points, which is enough for a dance. but each step is necessary cos it's the bare minimum

notes

if you didn't know, every day you don't talk to a villager will result in the loss of 2 friendship points

Maru loves cauliflower, so it would be a better gift than gold parsnips

Abigail stays at home during rainy days, and if it's on wednesday, you'll have to go to the mines (ugh) to get amethysts, and she dislikes all vegetables

Elliott... dunno where to start. it's pure luck, cos you can't talk to him when it's raining. I love fishing and I spend all my first week by the ocean. usually I reach lvl 3 in fishing on the third day of spring and buy crab pots on spring 4th. I usually have at least 9 crab pots by the seventh of spring and sometimes that's enough to catch lobsters in time. a lot of praying. it really helps to speak only to him in order to get a bulletin request.

Sebastian, loml, I get at least 8 good quality flounders in the first week, so no parsnip nessesary (but I do spend all my time by the ocean except when I run to talk to him). also if you tell him that you like reading comics in one of his dialogues you'll gain an additional 30 pts.

I guess you should still talk to Haley everyday and give her all the daffodils, since her loved gifts are kinda hard to get at the beginning but birthday helps like a lot

Haley, Abigail and Sam dislike parsnips. (and it will definitely rain, so Elliott will stay at home. this means parsnips will be good for everyone, except those four)

for me, it's easier to complete the introduction quest at the egg festival (talk to Pierre later) and before that I only met the bachelor(ette) for the bulletin requests also check saloon everyday for dish of the day and a travelling cart on friday and sunday

I'm sure there are easier ways to get it done, but this is what fits my gaming style (fishing, talking and no mining). treasure chests also provide a lot of useful items that make everything way easier

also english isn't my first language, I just wanted to practice. sorry for the mistakes

tsumugi must've been sweating buckets in trial 1. between this and kiyo mentioning that she went to the bathroom, she would've been done for. the only thing saving her is shuichi and kaede falling for the logic trap of thinking there's only one entrance/exit to the hidden room

saw an ig reel about not letting kids have social media until 18 and like. as one of those kids there is... no way that ends well.

straight up banning social media (especially up until 18) is just gonna make kids sneak behind your back and make some anyway. i mean, look at me, im what you'd consider a "good kid" and was very scared of getting in trouble, and yet i still made multiple socials before i was 18! hell, i made this blog when i was 14 years old!!

it just overall creates an environment where your kid won't feel comfortable coming to you if something happens because theres the looming worry of getting in trouble. plus, having all sorts of restrictions - on top of feeling annoying- feels almost insulting as well. i understood why i had restrictions when i was like. 9-14 years old. i hated them at the time, but i understand it now. when i got older though, it felt insulting. it felt like my parents didnt trust me enough, or that they thought that i was too stupid to handle myself online. being 17 and still not being allowed to have socials or be on the internet past midnight didnt feel very nice!

not to mention that the internet can be an important space for kids, i have conservative parents, and so being online is one of the few places i get to be myself. i think it would be better to just. monitor possible social media accounts rather than just. banning it for all eternity and not knowing if something bad happens. kids will find ways around restrictions that are implemented.

and like, i didnt even care about social media pre-covid. i only made accounts because i was bored. but i think that just straight up banning it, rather than allowing it and monitoring isnt good. having the option to make social media, also allows for the option to just. not use it. i feel like i only got as into as i did because i COULDN'T make socials. if i was allowed to when i was, say 15 years old, i doubt id use socials as much as i do now. i seldom used my phone when i was 13, so i imagine id be the same with social media had i been allowed to make them in the first place

I found this rant in my notes from that time a couple months ago when the pharmacy lost my birth control prescription right before a holiday weekend and made me deal with unmedicated PMDD for a week and I was scared out of my mind. Have an angry rant about the inadequacies of the American healthcare system.

When Julian Bashir was a child, he thought that if he was bad, the doctors would make sure he got sick. He grew out of it. But… if you live with a chronic medical condition that requires medical attention to manage, this is kind of just how your life works.

You have to do all the right paperwork and go to all the right appointments and say the right things in order to maintain access to the treatment you need to be healthy. Especially if the meds you need are a controlled substance. You have to be the good patient. You have to, or you’re in for a significant amount of pain and suffering. It feels like a threat hanging over your head.

And sometimes, you’ll do everything right, and then something happens outside of your control to screw everything up. Maybe there’s a shortage of the medication you need. Maybe the pharmacy loses your prescription. But suddenly you don’t have what you need to be okay, and you hurt. More than that, you’re terrified. You don’t want to be in pain. You don’t want to suffer.

You just want to be okay; why is that so hard?

And the doctors don’t mean to hurt anyone! They don’t understand the amount of power they hold over us. They really do, for the most part, want to help. But the system is a mess of power imbalances and red tape and fear fear fear. There are too many bureaucratic road blocks that keep people from getting medical attention. There are too many doctors who don’t give a shit. Who don’t listen to their patients. Who assume the worst of us. We just don’t want to hurt anymore. We don’t mean to be a bother, we just want to be okay.

And we have to put our wellbeing in their hands. We have to hand them our lives and our sanity and hope they hold them gently. And if they don’t? We have to pick a new doctor and do it all over again. What other choice do we have?
