#new fackts

[brascu]

I don’t know what I love most.

The fackt that Gackt decided to dress up his band as X Japan to play some covers, the Fackt that Gackt decided on playing drums and, like, he’s good but, god, he’s not Yoshiki by far, or the fackt he decided to name his cover version Sex Japan and kept yelling “sex” through X

everytime I find a new Gackt Fackt, I love him a bit more

But it might be quite interesting topic for discussion. What do you think about the quite interesting article I found, and what very very different from official historical information. hence the teary is, before world was totally different with huge trees, and all the mountains in the world it what left from that cut trees. how do you like that?

[monasatlantis]

So I played Hajimari no Kiseki - now Trails into Reverie - in englsich now and after reading my first review I hardly have to add anything. I mostly stand by what I wrote before, I just want to add a few things.

Starting with the localization/translation of the game. There were often differences between the translation of the Spreadsheet and the NIS localisation and while most of you will likely say: “Well, the spreadsteet was a fantranslation so their ought to be some mistakes or just different interpretations of words” I have to say that I can confirm that that was not always the problem. I am sure there are some differences do to the Spreadsheet being a quick fan translation but there were a few mistakes, were I knew for a fackt that it was NIS fucking it up.

For example: In the scene were Rean gets reunited with his Class7 Friends who were stuck in Crossbelll, and the scene was voices mind you, so I know for a fact that what he said in Japanese was what the spreadsheet was telling, Rean is like: “Guys, were here!” (which honestly felt a bit uncharacteristic for him anyway) in the NIS-Translation but was actually saying: “Alisa, everyone!” in the spreadsheet-translation that actually fit what he was saying in Japanese (I do not understand much japanese but I do get some basics, and it wasn’t so hard to hear that he called Alisas name anyway, even if I hadn’t understood the word afterwards...) and that is one of multiple occasion were they denied me the pleasure of Rean prioritizing Alisa or only mentioning/adressing Alisa for some weird Reason that I absolutly do not get. There was also that scene from Milliums Daydream were in the Spreadsheet Franz tells her that she might not grow much in height, but there are still many other ways for her to grow or something like that and she comments that that she might now grow much bigger, but her chest may still grow a lot bigger (XD) in the NIS translation, she actually says that she things their growth isn’t stunted anymore before she comments on having big boobies (XD) seeing how two years later in that Class7 Picture from the calendar her physical appearance hasn’t changed at all, I think the Spreadsheet actually translated it the right way. There were also multiple ways how Cedrics Daydream was translated differently that kind of changed the meaning of certain words a bit too much for my liking. (Also, I might have gotten that wrong, but I think in the Spreadsheet it was mentioned that Shirley approached the Professor for Cedrics new Archaism-Friend, while in NIS version the Professor approached Shirley and she just decided to use it for Cedric... I have no idea what to believe at this point, to be honest...)

When we talk about how fucked up the localisation is, let me tell you that the EBON-Defense-Force originates from the Ebon-Knights, so no Idea wall they pronounce it with an german E-Sound instead, especially given that they changed Juna counting backwards in German to Juna counting backwards in Englsich. Also Dieter Crois... pronounces right by Lloyd but Elie calls him DiEter and once again pronounces the E in a wrong way. I do not know if they had trouble with the translation because Falcom likes to use german words or names every now and then... but just listening to the japenese version would have helped - A LOT!

There are two more things I have to mention, sadly all negative ones.

The Daydreams were almost all plain boring and while you do some of them for the characters, there some like the one with Jingo and Ballad, were you can’t help but question why on earth Falcom thinks you would want to watch this. Some of them give you some important information, but I am sure there would have been quicker, less boring ways to bring them across. Also... what is with the random fighting? Going with Tita through the Keep or fighting Gilbert with Cedric felt absolutely unnecessary as it lacked some benefits other than the game trying to make you feel less like you are just watching a visual Novel. I am honest here, I think I haven’t even watched half of them and I am likely not going to watch many more either. I just don’t see why I need to see Kurt in a dress, if you get me.

The last thing I have to add is that the “post-game Reverie-Corridor” part overstayed its welcome, especially given how its use was’t useful anymore anyways. Also... the very last part of the Corridor had a HUGE spike in difficulty that was absolutly unnecessary. Regardless of that, it felt also like a nice round way to end this journey with our big team, they just could have done that a bit more faster XD

Other then that, once again, I stay with my previous statements. It was a great game.

My first review of „Hajimari no Kiseki“ (played with spreadsheet)

Ever since I know that Hajimari no Kiseki (or Trails of Reverie) will not be released in English until (what probably will be late autumn of) 2023 I am very frustrated about the fact that there is no way in hell that I will be able to stay away from Kuro no Kiseki spoilers until this game will be released in English (what will probably be not earlier then the end of 2025 if not later). You see, after I spoiled most of CS3, CS4 and also a large part of Hajimari for me, because I just couldn’t wait that long for its English release, I decided I wanted to play a Trails-game “blind” for once and Kuro is perfect as it starts with new characters and a new place and so on. BUT I am a spoiler-junkie, so waiting freaking 4 years to get my hands on this game and not feeling the urgent need to collect any spoilers until then is almost impossible for me. Plus, until 2025 its very likely that Kuro no Kiseki 2 & maybe even 3 are out at this point already and you know how it goes. The deeper we go into the story, the more characters of the previous games will have cameos in the Kuro-Saga. And the more characters I love show up there, the harder it will get for me to not fish for Spoilers. Okay let’s face it, as soon as one of my favorites will show up in on of the sequels, there will be no force in hell that will be able to stop me from getting all the freaking spoiler XD

So… how does one solve this problem? There was only on way to do it: Thank the people who made the freaking spreadsheet, buy Hajimari no Kiseki on Amazon.jp and get your Computer and Playstation ready to play on remote-play. So that – hoping that someone would do a spreadsheet for Kuro as well – I would be able to get through the next Saga within a year of its release (or so) without having to drown myself in spoiler again to survive the wait until the English release. In other words: I wanted to play Hajimari, so that I could go into Kuro with a clear conscience, since I finished the previous game and thus rounded up the other free previous Sagas just nicely.

And here now is my review of Hajimari no Kiseki and my description of how I was able to handle the spreadsheet…

Let me tell you that handling the spreadsheet is very easy, especially if your PC and Playstation are already ready for remote play (as it so happens, I prefer to play on my computer and thus I’ve been playing with remote play before) and there is nothing much left to do aside from opening the spreadsheet, after changing a few control-buttons in the game-menu.

I say it took me roughly 3 to 5 hours to get the hang of how the spreadsheet works and how and when to best operate it. And after that, it mostly guided me through the game without many issues. (excluding jumping 2000 lines or so, that was a shore, but maybe it was just me being to stupid to push the right button to jump from line 1000 to 2400 without problems. Once again, that aside, the spreadsheet worked amazingly for me and it tells you all of the things you need to know to get the plot and don’t miss any development on either characters or story.

The most annoying thing was that you couldn’t decide who you want to talk to. It not critique on the spreadsheet because it was definitely already hard enough to make it, as it is. Its just something that was bothering me a bit while I was playing. Sometimes there were people I didn’t wanted to talk to that I had to if I wanted to follow the spreadsheet and there were people I wanted to talk to, that the spreadsheet did not tell you to talk to. It takes a bit getting used to. Once again tho, its no big issue. P

The only other thing that MIGHT be a bit troublesome is that there are some choices in the game were you have to follow the spreadsheet, even if you don’t want to OR you do it like me and don’t follow the spreadsheet and will be sad because what does it bring you that you bring Elie along for this fight (it was a mechanic decision, because I ALWAYS chose Elie with Lloyd, its how I always chose Alisa with Rean, I didn’t even realize I picked her until it was too late ^^’) if you don’t understand what she is saying. Once again, it is really no big issue, it just takes some getting used to or the will to accept slightly different dialogs.

PLUS when the game comes out in English and I play it again, I can do whatever I want and its normal that you just have to make some compromises when you play a game in a language you don’t understand. Playing this game with the spreadsheet is to get through the plot, so you are capable of witnessing the plot of the next game. Everything else, you can and will have when you buy the English localization.

Alright, lets finally talk about the game itself.

I’ve watched someone playing it before, not all of it, but certain parts. There were still a few surprises here and there tho and there were moments in the game that I saw in a completely different light, after actually playing it myself.

But where to start?

First of all, Hajimari no Kiseki was a good game. I really enjoyed playing it, even with the extra difficulty do to not being able to read the names (and descriptions) of quartzes and crafts and so on. (There IS something in the spreadsheet were you can search for stuff like that and translates it, but it was too time consuming for me to really use it. I play on very easy and am not a strategic fighter – hence the easy difficulty – so it wasn’t a big issue for me. Not to mention that do to the battlesystem being mostly just a copy of the one from CS4, it wasn’t too hard to know what to do when and the muscle-memory worked just fine for me too, when I needed to push certain buttons. Like, I wanted to switch characters and my hand seemed to automatically go to the right button – it will honestly be really hard to readjust in Kuro.

Anyway, something that I first thought was annoying but actually added something good to the game was the switching between the characters. Even tho I though the force-switch between Reans-Team and “C”s-Team in chapter 2 was a bit annoying, all in all it was nice to have 3 different storys play out at the same time. Because even if you found Lloyds story currently a bit boring, switching to Reans-Team might just give you the action that you needed and then going over to (SPOILER! I AM NOT HIDING THE IDENTITY OF “C” HERE!) Rufus – Team were the pacing was a bit faster was just making it feel good. Also, handling the different MCs with their different teams was also very refreshing. Especially as the chemistry was different and thus the feeling when you played the different teams. Not to mention that Reans-Team was changing with every chapter, which once again gave it a great variation of dynamics, depending who was currently on your team. It is almost sad to think about going back to playing the same MC with mostly the same team all the time in Kuro. Because this “3 MCs with different Teams” – thing was really refreshing and enjoyable.

When I was watching the guy play the game a lot of people complained that at the end of the day, we were going through the same old patterns that we were already used too and that that is boring. And even tho it is true, that we have a lot of things that… you know… happened again or at least look like we’ve been through them before, it never felt boring to me. Not when I was watching it and not when I was playing it myself. Because it fit well into the plot. As an example, Lloyd once again has to go around to gather his friends – who are currently facing their own problems – and yes, we’ve done almost the same in the Crossbell-Saga, but it fit very well with the situation, because the SSS had lost themselves and they were finding themselves again and that figuratively and literally. Also, the fact that Lloyd was finding and reuniting them shows him at the center of the SSS, just like it was with Rean in CS2, when he too had to find and reunite his friends again. Plus, I really liked how we took the time with the individual characters and deal with their problems without too much other characters intervening. Especially with the Crossbell-Saga, were we never got I satisfying ending for, it was important to put the characters into a position were you as a player would feel like they are fine. Just like we have reached it with most of the people from the Erebonia-Saga, so that saying goodbye in CS4 felt really whole.

Speaking of which. While in the other routes, the plot focuses not just on the MC but also the characters surrounding him, in Reans-Route, it mostly felt like he was the main-focus of everything and it does make perfect sense, because the reason the prologue of CS4 felt so whole and satisfying was, because everyone’s story was finished. Everyone had found their place and purpose and happiness… everyone but Rean. Now, back then we focused on the fact that Rean was still alive and realizes of some of his burdens and thus seemed to be happy too. But was his arc really fully finished? No. And the latest moment in Hajimari you realize this, is when he FINALLY says that he understood that to make others happy, he has to be happy himself. So what we are doing in Hajimari is going to face his problems and see him learn to solve or deal with them. He has the help of his friends and comrades as always and of course the plot itself is not just “Rean learning to not constantly sacrifice himself” but all in all this is the true background of his route and I found that they did that really well.

Now… lets talk about Rufus-Route… I just freshly finished my second playthrough of CS4 and it was really fresh for me what that bastard did their and I was sure as heck that I would never forgive this guy for what he did. And… I mean… it’s not like I’ve really forgiven him or that I absolutely get why most of the fandom loves him now. BUT I have to admit that they made his redemption-arc really good. For ONCE in one of our many side-switching former enemies life’s, it felt like this character really worked hard for his redemption and earned it. Rufus team was by far the most enjoyable do to the weird misfitting mix of people that had just such an amazingly enjoyable chemistry that it never got boring to play their part of the game. It was also nice to – while we had already well established teams on Llyods and Reans side – see how the characters grew to know and like each other and become a team. Adding Duvalie, Renne and Arios too the mix later on was just making it even better – as ridiculous as this sounds.

So… let me be myself for a bit and let me talk to you about the shipping-aspect of the game for a moments – and let me add some frustration about how they handled Reans situation too, while I am at it.

Here is the thing. Most of us, likely have chosen Rean to be with one of his 12 or so possible girls. The game makes it possible for you to chose one of the among them regardless of who you picked in the previous game. So… in case you suddenly realizes that Alfin is much better for Rean than Towa, you can go for it. Now the question just is, what does this choice add to the game? Basically nothing. Let me tell you, that the Spreadsheet choses Fie as Reans final partner (which was a surprise for me, as all the lets players on YouTube always seemed to choose Laura – which gets annoying after a while if she is not on your top 5 list, if you know what I mean – so I am certainly not complaining here) and I wouldn’t chose anyone but Alisa as Reans final partner even if you torture me XD So I went with it and accepted that I would get addition text for Fie and probably would miss some translated text for Alisa. But I was fine with it. It didn’t happen that way tho. BECAUSE you can also chose the people you had a strong bond with in CS4 which also added additional text. The spreadsheet chose all of them – I didn’t. So EVERYONE got some additional lines. ALL of the girls did. And something I’ve realized was, that they all had an romantic context, which was slightly irritating, given that Rean has a girlfriend now – but I mean, its Rean right? Were talking about the girl sitting in the hotspring together with Claire, flirting with her without even noticing it. So whatever XD

Thing is… when I’ve reached Alisas reunion scene (which happens freaking late in the game, let me tell you all about the torture I went through…) there was no additional line. She says the same things if you chose her as your partner, like she does if you just chose her as one of your strong bonds. And that goes for ALL the girls, which is why their lines sound romantic, because they are made to also be used in case she is your girlfriend. Meaning that Falcom doesn’t make a damn difference between who Rean dated and who Rean just had a strong bond with. Imagine my disappointment!

Lets stay with our glory hunt for a little bit longer. Rean, as he is Rean, has a few canon moments with certain girls that are flirty or… slightly considered romantic. Regardless of any choices, I may add. And no, Alisa is not among them, to probably most peoples surprise. Seriously, we don’t even get a reunion-hug. That is the first time since CS2 that we didn’t get a Rean x Alisa hug. It was HORRIBLE! XD The link event was also reduced back to the “high five” that is common ground for Rean and Alisa since CS1 (we just skipped CS4 for a special hand holding and akward moment link event – but I am sure not complaining ;P) which is fine for me, as even Estelle and Joshua just get a “High five” (a very cute one tho!) and other almost canon-shippings aren’t going much further then that either. So… no biggie. Anway… as you know by now, Alisa will not be in Reans team until the freaking final chapter. She joins Lloyds Team in chapter 3 (or so…) a she (as well as Towa) was in Crossbell when things went down the drain there. Now you might be wondering if I too agree that Alisa had no leg up whatsoever in Hajimari, as many people proudly say. I DO NOT! Look, yes, we’ve got deprived of many special moments that we usually have, but lets face it, as a Rean x Alisa fan I am spoiled rotten. We got hugs and kisses as early as freaking CS2! We have gotten one of the most amazing Reunion-Hugs ever in CS3 (only slightly rivaled by Elie and Lloyd – and we get to their special status quo in a minute) and NO ONE had a special link event in CS4 but Rean and Alisa and to top it off, even if you do not do Alisas Bonding-Events, even if you do not date her at all, you WILL get the hand-holding-link-event in CS4, like it or not. So… lets face it, yes, we are used to far too much special treatment to our ship, especially considering that its not officially canon (yet, I may add ;P) and yes, that caused some disappointment on my side at certain points in the game.

BUT all in all I can not complain. Alisas name is often the only one on his lips. Towa, Machias and Sharon are currently stuck in Crossbell and Alisas name is almost always the only one he mentions. When he tries to reach Crow on the phone, but doesn’t seemed to be able to do that, he actually slightly panics and adds that he just can not reach Alisa. Alisa. Not Towa, his Coworker. Not Machias, his Friend. Also not Sharon everyone favorite maid, who he sure as hell has the number of as well. No, he was only trying to reach Alisa and he was only frustrated about not being able to reach her. AND despite the fact that he is obviously just hiding how worried he is, this little moments, is the only one were he allows himself to show that. That little moments when he can’t reach Alisa. The reunion-scene really isn’t special, but after that we can find Alisa almost always exactly were she belongs, which is right next to Rean. We also have some wonderful small moments in the final chapter. Starting with the in-synch-reaction after hearing Ishmelga-Reans awful story and ending with Alisa being so close to Rean on that Rooftop in Crossbell that there is only on camera-angle which even allows you to see that she is in fact right next to him. So yes… as an Rean x Alisa fan, I might got a bit disappointed because we didn’t get the usual super special treatment, but believe me, we did not run out of the normal special treatment. Alias leg is still up.

Achem…

Lets get to Crossbell now. Falcom had the guts to reveal in an interview that Elie and Lloyd are a thing but didn’t have the backbone to make it canon in Hajimari. They even dared to give Lloyd a special scene with almost every of his available girls. BUT if we are talking about legs up… I would say the reunion hug and the “I want to support you with my heart” – moment, were still giving Elie a leg up. Not to mention that there were multiple small hints here and there at them being an item, so there is no need to worry. I say this ship has sailed. FINALLY another ship has sailed in Crossbell. We’ve all been waiting for this since the Crossbell-Sagas relatively early days. Yes, Mirelle and Randy FINALLY got from “former Co-Workers” (my ass!) to “a married couple” and that in the short span between the beginning and the end of this game. I wish all our ships would be that efficient and fast XD

Did I hear some rumors about Wazy and Noel? Who knows!

Lets move to Rufus-Team, shall we? I am not talking about him and the Lolie… because… not sure what this even is about ^^’ But lets talk about 3 and 9. I mean, Swin and Nadia. (I love them talking about the book, by the way XD) and how Falcom uses the “Sibling” – Zone on us yet again. Seriously, Swin and Nadia are really cute together and its sure that they will become a couple eventually. I mean, there is a scene in the reverie-part of the game were Nadia is complaining about being sister-zoned. And who is the one answering her with the words “its just a phase, Jusis did that with me too”? Guessed it right, Millium. The one with the freaking cutest Link-Events you have EVER seen. Seriously, I loved my Rean and Alisa Hand holding and I absolutely adore the way Estelle and Joshua are looking at each other in their event after their hands stayed connected for a little longer then necessary and yes I jumped out of joy about Tita getting a freaking Trails-Trademark-Headpat from Agate and all. BUT look at Millius and Jusis Link-Event and tell me it is not the cutest thing you have EVER seen? I love how she leans against him like this. Its just… *chef kiss* perfect! ANYWAY… my point is, that Millium hit the nail on the head. The Sibling-Zone is a running-gag in Trails games ever since Joshua and Estelle. Now think guys, Joshua and Estelle are THE canon-couple of the whole Trails-Saga so far. And even here we had the freaking sibling-zone. This is nothing but a freaking joke. I dare to assume that ALL the sibling-zoners are eventually turn out to be couples in the end. Including Cedric and Shirley – Angie proofed to us that queerbaiting is a thing, right George?

So… honestly? All seems to be going very well shipping-wise in our games as far as I can tell. Who knows, maybe Renne will bring us good news about the two remaining ships of the Liberl-Saga in Kuro at some point. I mean, Joshua and Estelle need to get married already and Tita is 18 at the point of Kuro and with Agathe reaching his thirties, it is about time he stops sibling-zoning the girl and date her already. Geez.

I totally digress XD

So back to Hajimari. We had some really great szenes, some amazing chapters. The pacing was mostly good (a bit of a few stupid moves when Rean was in Nord aside), the character-development well done and the plot really interesting. I loved what they did with the normal-ending Reans story and how it helped our Rean to finally see the light. I was totally and absolutely amazed by Lloyds character-development as well. And once again, Rufus earned himself his redemption and I enjoyed watching it. The Riverie-Corridor too was FINALLY well done. It is not too hard, it is actually helpful and you aren’t forced to do much in there, but if you do you gain plenty of benefits from it. As someone who was like: “Oh no, not again!” after hating Phantasma in Sky3 and the Riverie Corridor at the end of CS2, I think it says a lot that I am not complaining about this thing this time, but rather praise it. Music was good. Falcom-Music. Soundtrack of CS3 is still better, but all in all it was very good as per usual. There was really barely anything to complain about.

Looking back at it, I would give it a solid 8,5 out of 10 points – and if you think that I haven’t played the real English localization yet, that has to say a lot.

The process of transition starting!!!

Today I went to my psychiatrist, who also works with adolescents who experience gender dysphoria. Today i asked her to send me forward to the gender clinic, note the fackt that I was nervous as heck, scared that she might decline it. My fear was for nothing really as she happily accepted my request. In march they have a meeting of sort (sorry don't know how to call it otherwise) and she will present me there to see if I need any further diagnostics to start seeing a gender psychologist. She also gave me a pass to change the gender marker on my documents to male so now all i need is some money to get new documents and fully change my name (currently i have my dead name and the name i go by).

Anyways I'm extremely happy things have finally started to move. Sure it's slow but it's still moving.

Thank you for coming to my little spill of pure happiness, have a nice day!

how do I use my bullet journal?

I’s been almost one month since I started bulletjournal. I basicly figured out that pre made planners and diaries don’t have enough space for me, since I need to write down everything, plus I like tracking some aspects of my life and bullet journalls seemed like a great way. And - let’s take it as a sign from above - around that time I started thinking about it I found one in Flying tiger. It was really affordable, dotted, with paper thick exactly how I like it.

One month might not be the longest period, but during this time I found out many things how to and how not to. Take this post just as an inspiration, because of course, what suits to me doesn’t have to suit to you.

Format

My journal is in A5 format and I totaly love it. enough space but still not any bigger than usual book or notebook. Big plus on my journal is, that it has a gum that can keep it closed so it doesn’t open in yout bag and damage sites. And it has a pocket, which is also pretty useful.

Tip: if your journal doesn’t have a pocket but you’d like to have one, glue an envelop on the inside side of your notebook’s cover. Bought or even self made, what about some colourfull paper?

Trackers, dailies, weeklies

And here comes the best part: the content is totally up to you. I personally keep it pretty simple, I don’t use month’s overview, just week’s, so there is a title site followed by weekly spreads. For each week I have two pages, the right side for all seven days and the other side for tracker of things I do once a week, like calling my mum and granny, or chores, the same for things I do twice a week like relaxing or cleaning our room, some space for ideas or tasks which cross my mind during the week and don’t have any specific date to be done until. Therse are often vocabulary lists I find out I need to revise, things I need to buy etc. A special space on this page belongs to my thesis. Here I write tasks that I must do or finnish. And the last space is ment for one positive thing for each day. Every day I try to come up with at least one thing, that came out well. Sometimes I decide in the beggining of the week that I’m, for instance, going to praise myself for something every day. But sometimes I just write down some good or nice thing. Even if it’s just the fackt that you met your favourite dog! (Btw. I met today a beautiful 16 years old dachshund lady! <3 )

After the whole month follows my language learning and anxiety/depression tracker (all in one), because I want to have a proof for myself that I have some job done every day and colourfull squares motivates me. On the last page is my curve of forgetting tracker, where I’m trying to monitore vocabulary learning in conection with the curve of forgetting. I log the topic of a vocabulary, the date I studyiedit and thanks to this I keep track on when I should revise which vocabulary.

As I said, I keep it pretty simple, but there are hunderts of options and ideas what to track. Loss weight, sparing money, spending money, sleep, meal...

Student friendly journal

as you can see above, I like thingsa simple, but I added few pages which helps me during semester. I already mentioned the language learning and curve of forgetting tracker. But I also added, on the very beggining of my journal place for my timetable, in form of those triangular things ment for placing photos in album, so I can replace it next semester with the new timetable. I also added one page for informations about every course I take, requirements, form of exam, e-mails etc, a semester overview with all four months of semester and lines for important deadlines. One page for my thesis where I’m going to track the amount of  already written characters and for every 5 000 characters I’m going to reward myself. And on the last page opening hours of our faculty library and library of my department and opening hours for study department.

All I want is you a system!

For week’s overviews I use my specific system to make whole this journal thing more effective. Every day is divided into four sections. I’ve tested this parted only few days now, but I already like it. The first one is for appointments, events or unusual changes, for instance if we change a room for some lesson. The other section is for taskt that have a priority. Third part is for aditional things like my own study activities, like language challenges here on tumblr etc.  The last and the smallest one is for reminders like that I want to write a post on this blog or such. I also use a colour code. blue highlighter for school tasks, deadlines, assigments. Orange is for thesis, purple for study thinghs I do just for myself, new vocabularies, extra revising etc. Pink for important things I can not miss and green for other, like chores, calling to my mum, printing materials etc.Exept my bullet journal as a planner, I also have a separate journals for each language I learn, Lithunian and Fiunnish. About these I’ll tell you next time.

What kind of planner do you yous?

Just wanted to ask what is the deal with James’s face and a lawsuit? I’ve been looking and I can’t find the truth :( Why did they change his face? Who sued PB? Who did James supposedly look like?

these are all excellent questions and thank u for coming to me, a jamesgate scholar, for ur fackts

so basically what happened is that james’ face is taken from known Hottie and actor michael b jordan,, it’s not even like a “faceclaim” thing its deadass his face, PB stole it and made a cartoon version of it and named it james

then overnight his entire face changed into what we have now dubbed jomes, a fake knockoff of the original james who himself was a knockoff of the original michael b jordan (it gets kinda meta just bear with me)

then pb made some posts about the fact that they literally just CHANGED A MAIN LIS FACE,,, which included the following allusions:

We don’t like changing our characters and didn’t do it simply because we wanted a new look for James. We made changes to James and some other characters, too, so that there would be no doubt that these are fictional characters.

Also, I wish I could go into more details about the change, but in my previous post, I tried to say as much about why we made the change as I already could… In regards to “other characters”, we have not rolled out the changes yet, but our Tumblr fandom is pretty clued into what other characters will likely be changed. 

i bolded some of the parts that are most important, but essentially they’re being all ~shady~ in regards to why the change happened, which pretty much confirms that there was a legal issue……. especially with the “i tried to say as much as i could” and “i wish i could go into more detail” which indicates that there is a legal restriction on discussing the issue

additionally the whole “no doubt these are fictional characters” thing is clearly a jab at the fact that JAMES IS MICHAEL B JORDAN HE JUST LITERALLY IS THE SAME MAN WITH NO CHANGES WHATSOEVER and then that coupled with the fact that they insinuate tumblr already knows who will also be changed means that it must’ve been a face stealing issue since we’ve pretty loudly pointed out other stolen faces (e.g. dwayne “the rock” johnson, eddie redmayne, avan jogia) before

my personal thought is that black panther is coming out soon and marvel started to crack down on copyrighting michael b’s likeness so PB got scared and changed things and isn’t admitting why so they aren’t liable OR they actually got threatened with legal action and changed things because of that

either way, it’s hilarious but RIP james :’(

Being in a relationship with someone for a long time and thinking you love them dosn’t mean that you do. I know that for a fackt. Tou can be with that persom and not feel buterflies in your stomach and feel that it’s not the same anymore. And thats how most of relationships end. But with every end comes a new begininf. And maeby that new begining will be a difrent kind of experience. Maeby that new person will be diferent. Imagine meating someone acsidently and knowing that thats the road you wanna take. And just with him. No one maters anymore. You are happy. Time passes. And you don’t even notice that a year has passed and your’e still happy and diferent now. Your’e truly happy. And thats how love work. You never know what the end can bring you. It may be happines or another lesson but you have to dive in and experience it yourself.

[velvetvent]

this is a vent blog too

you lied to me for the first time today. it was something small, but it still hurt. it hurt so bad. because for the first time since I've known you, you were like the other.s you said the same things. you told me it wouldn’t happen again. you promised it wouldn’t happen again. but I was taken back to every time that i was told something wouldn’t happen again. when he would threaten my life and then tell me he’s sorry and he’s done with it and he swears itll never have again. when another would hit me and then tell me he wouldn’t do it again. they. alll. promised. and you promised too. and for the first time today I didn’t trust you. I didn’t want you to touch me. I didn't want anything to do with you. I wanted to curl up in a ball and cease to exist. hours later i still don’t know that i want much to do with you honestly. you’re a horrible liar. I knew from last night when you stuttered through your plans today on the phone that you had other plans I didn’t know about. I knew from the second I called you expecting you to not be awake yet. I knew. part of me is still upset at the fackt that you lied and the other part of me is pissed at you for thinking that I would fall for it. even for a second. I genuinely wante to harm myself today. or the first time in a very...very long time. I wanted to cut until I bled out. I wanted to do what I did before and suck it up and sayi ts okay and I forgive you and then take it out on my legs after you were gone. I didn’t see you as you. I aw you as them. all of the horrible ones before you. someone I thought I would never see you be. for the first time I didn’t want to be with you. I wanted you to leave and never come back. you were a monster I didn’t know. you were foreign. you made me feel so sick to my stomach. you ade me want to hurt. yu hurt me and that hurt made me want to keep hurting. i’m still hurting. i’m still  hurting from them and i’m still hurting from you now too. I thought you wouldn’t hurt me. I hought you were safe. I was wrong. I want to be cold. I want to be able to not reply. I want to be able to be mad at you. to be hurt. to be upset. to not care. but if I couldn’t do it with them then I can’t do it with you. the parllells i’m becoming familiar with are horrifying. If this is who you are, I don’t want to be with you. if you’re turning into this, I don’t want you. I told myself I wouldn’t go through the same hurt again. ever. but now I have. and it went the exact same as it always did and now I want to shower and scrub my skin off so that I can have new skin that you haven’t touched. I on’t want to feel the grime of what happened today to “make up for it” because there is no making up for it. there isn’t a way to touch meand make the things you said better. there isn’t a way to hold me and make me see who you are. there sin’t a way to take me out of that place where you are him and I am scared again. there. isn’t a way. there never will be. I've seen two parallels now. and they both terrify me. I've relived those nights twice now. and that terrifies me. I've come extremely close to harming myself to cope withw what’s happened, and that...is heartbreaking. you told me today that you don’t want to make me feel like that again...but you said that the first time that you took me back there. you promised me that time that you wouldn’t do it again and that you never wanted ot make me feel like that agin...and I was stupid enough to believe you..and then it happened again. it always does. it never fails. ever. i’m disappointed. im upset, im hurt. i’m drained. im tired. and most of all, i’m numb. because I ever left that place. and it’s going to take a long time to be able to. you’re going to meet a different me soon. a colder me, a me that is still submissive and cooperative but htat isn’t passionate. a me who trusts but not too much, and who is quiet. the loud girl I am and have been isn’t going to be around for much longer. I knew I ould end up hurt again. I knew I couldn’t be how I wanted. so I won’t be. i’ll be how I've always been. subservient. quiet. only there when needed or wanted. invisible when not. and I won’t question anything. I won’t speak up. I won’t fight. I won’t disagree or argue. i’ll be the dream girl everyone wants. the one who can shut the fuck up. because that’s what’s best anyway. i’ll even keep alll of my troubles to myself. I won’t bother you with the events of my day or the struggles I faced. I won’ tfill you in on any drama or tea. i’ll only listen. until I dont’ feel hurt. I won’t be the same. and if this keep s happening..we will ceaset o exist..i will not feel that hurt again. you may have promised, and they may have promised. but I promised to myself too. and I don’t do empty promises. I ollowt through. I promise myself that I will  never let myself feel that hurt again. and I intend fto fulfill that promise.

Mastery Journal Monthly Goal March Update

Why Hello My Fierce Readers,

I am here today with a new post referring to my previous post: Mastery Journal Timeline. In this post, I set goals for each course of my master degree journey.

In the original post I stated my goals for the course Media Relations were as follows:

•      To gain a better undrstanding of our media community

•      Insight into the role of a journalist

•      Insight to the role of a publicist and media relations

This month was amazing truley! I was able to take on the roles in the media business and get to experiance then first hand. My favorite assignments this month was actually the final assignment were we were able to create a mdia kit that included 5 original pictures, a press release, quick fackts, and a video new release. This month was a a very busy month for me outside of school and I had a lot on my plate. 

I was able to reach all of my goals comletely. I gained so much information on media in the community and how to reach out to media outlets. I have a better understand of the journalist and a event better understanding of the editor. I had a first hand experiance into being a puclicist for my capstone project by creating pitches, press releases and fact sheets for news conferences.

I felt this month was very important plus will be most helpful to me as a communication’s professional because I will be working directly with a lot of clients in the exact manner that I did this month and I now feel more prepared and on step closer to my professional goals. I also feel like I now know how to better handle fulfilling a client’s needs. I also now know how to incorporate ths into launching my brand and now know how to better deal and do business with media outlets.
