#not anxiety this time either tho

thinking about it; the megaten games are almost always in Tokyo or Japan itself.

One was in or in a place similar to India with demons of Hindu myth and legend (tho I forgot what game that was......... Soul Hackers 2?? I could be very incorrect here I'll admit... I could always be incorrect.)

edited to add: I'm dumb i think, it was Digital Devil Saga i think..... Not Soul Hackers 2..... now i feel stupid......

another set of games took place in the arctic....

Makes me wonder what about other countries if that apocalypse was going on? Like if it was worldwide instead of local. Or how would the world population get together demon summoners to save everything?

If that's happened already, please forgive my ignorance.

Just thinking of whether each region would have their own spread of demons from their own local myths and legends; or would they just be everywhere regardless of regional myth?

Like in America; having a bunch of demons from the many Native American folklore.... Or the middle east being home to demons and mythical beings from Islamic tales, I'm sure you get my point.

and this may very well be the case.

would the summoners from different regions get along or see each other as enemies?

would the law/neutral/chaos alignments work the same way? surely they would honestly.

Are there different ministers in the cathedral of shadows for each region? Or is it solely The Minister?

Just musings about MegaTen over coffee~~~

ok so now i know what a butte is and i also know how it's pronounced but that still doesn't make the constant butte mentions any less funny

Sometimes I wonder if certain fandoms are familiar with my work due to me self shipping with certain characters and how much that actually terrifies me.

[blakhol]

Well hi!

I'm either remaking or revamping, not sure which yet. But I'm in general doing an overhaul of the blogs I want to keep and deleting those I'm done with for now - or the characters I only am writing specifically on discord.

I hope everyone has been well and staying safe. <3

going out of town so won't be here for the rest of the week but I've queued stuff as always so this is the periodic reminder that I basically queue everything and have not been able to successfully autotag my queue in years, so I'm not just ignoring you if you respond to something right after I post it, I'm just not there!

[heyitslapis]

i really want a face mask (for masking in public) that says "Muzzled for your safety" or some shit like that

[always-a-slut-4-ghouls]

I caught myself looking like 😑 again at the grocery store today and I feel so awkward. I don’t want to come off as an asshole to anyone working there (it must suck as a job, especially during summer tourist season) but my face is just like this! I think it would be really funny if I got a custom t-shirt one day that just said “sorry, it’s (probably) not you. My face is just like this” with the 😑 emoji under it

mental health bad time to make it worse (reinstalling OW2)

I do not give a shid about playing well anymore im just trying to fall asleep.

im sure at some point I will delete it again

[jacklesraised]

see the reality is i post on my rps usually when nobodys been there a bit and nobody is probably online, but the mental illness in me keeps saying its bc everyone secretly hates me and i dont deserve love, and when i tell a gov doctor that, they basically just say ‘take your antidepressant’s and shut up’ which is also funny when said gov doctor wont refill my fucking antidepressants in the first place

[dearmrsawyer]

im just gonna say HERE what i wanted to say in afternoon tea because i was thinking about it all week

i picked the topic for today (LGBTQ+ books) and my pick was This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel, which i only read fairly recently, and i loved. Its about a family - this woman called Rosie has a sister Poppy who dies when she's young, and when she grows up she wants to have a daughter so she can name her after her sister. She and her husband try all the old wives tales methods of conceiving girls but of course they end up with 5 boys. But at around five their youngest son Claude starts to see himself as the princess from the stories their dad tells them at night, and he starts wanting to be a princess when he grows up, and wearing dresses. Soon he says he wants to start going by Poppy. And the whole book is about this family navigating how best to make sure Poppy feels loved but is also safe once they've accepted that Poppy must be trusted with how she feels. I loved how it was a constant journey of having to understand Poppy and then make decisions that would do the least harm to her in the long term. Like at first she continues to go to school as Claude, but when one of Poppy's friends finds out and tells their parent, the parent threatens Poppy, so the family relocates. At the new school they're given the choice of enrolling Poppy either as Claude or Poppy, and this time its Claude that becomes the secret. But its a never ending road of decisions that both Poppy and her parents have to participate in, and i loved it because its a situation that i have no experience with, and i imagine must be very difficult as a parent! To love your child but not know what the right thing to do is. Rosie and her husband often disagreed about which decisions would be best for Poppy, but in the end would usually hand the decision over to Poppy and try to just manage it as best they could. It was really sweet and emotional and thoughtful, and always came back to the family home where Poppy was fully safe and there was no tension around what impact outside forces may have on Poppy's sense of self and security. Wish i could have said that to everybody!!
