okay... was flipping through my copy of the smtiv strategy book. i FORGOT they tell you a NAME for the hill Issachar and Flynn are on at the beginning of the game. 'Yascony Hill'

every place in Mikado is a badly anglicized place in Japan. Some of them are obvious (Shene Duque) and others less clear. I'm actually working on making a list of all places referenced and making a post with pictures of all of them when I'm done with the game.

but like. i do NOT know what 'Yascony Hill' is referencing i am LOSING it right now. what is that anglicized from. oh my god.

snippet of a miitopia poster i made depicting my team + my evil great sage. in the center is cirno, my protagonist. idk if i will post the poster now, the crossover might be too much. but i do like this portion of the poster the best. maybe i will do it and post it alongside a post of all the job designs i made for them.

quickish practice covar featuring lily the animove from vocaloid

[svtskneecaps]

feel like the global tasks sweep strat should probably be nerfed somehow. my thought would be, give each team an individual ten minute overall cooldown on global task claims. that is to say, a certain team can only claim one global task per ten minutes. say, deliver gas masks, and then in ten minutes you're allowed to deliver tea, and then after another ten minutes you can claim hot chocolate.

another teams would be able to claim a global task for bananas during this time, and their own ten minute cooldown would start.

(the global tasks can either keep their individual ten minute cooldown [i.e. after tea is claimed no one else can claim tea for ten minutes] or a slightly shorter cooldown, say 5-7 minutes)

when a global task is claimed, everyone is notified, right? if not, in my hypothetical, they will be.

then, a team trying to sweep six tasks at once would actually take sixty minutes to do, allowing another team to swoop in and have a chance to stop it in cinematic, entertaining fashion rather than tubbo having to grind resources and then log out in front of the merchant to counter this, which is boring for everyone (including the person delivering). plus, if a team cuts it down to the last second and ends up getting delayed, they physically wouldn't have time to make a delivery, meaning even being a BIT of a nuisance could be a viable strategy, even if you can't manage to kill; if you can STALL you could still wreck their plans.

that's my dream anyway idk i'm not a game designer. just think it would be interesting for most players

(i elaborate under)

red team would have to shake up their strategies, which is fun since they're a team that kinda has to rely more on strategy than outright brawn (overall the team's pvp can't be relied on unless they have carre or phil, as seen today when pierre, bad, and etoiles attacked phil cellbit foolish and baghera, and cellbit and foolish both died to etoiles in the attack, despite it being a 4 on 1 at the time. baghera was killed by bad soon after. phil was the one to get the kills. the first day, when blue attacked [niki, tubbo, and bad as i recall] carre got both kills)

the other teams would then still have a way to stop a global sweep since a sweep would have to start earlier, allowing not only more time to arrive at global to pvp about it, but ALSO allowing another team to swoop in and steal the goal out from under the team again

i'm gonna use it in a scenario bc i'm badboyhalo and i can't stop myself from making examples:

so, tonight, if the proposed cooldown was in place, bad and tubbo would both still had roughly 17 minutes when red team would have HAD to start the sweep process if they wanted all six global tasks: 1 hour until the server closed at absolute MINIMUM. more for safety's sake.

therefore, in this scenario, there's a lot to happen

blue team could wait at globals, knowing red will probably try this strategy, and attempt or perhaps SUCCEED in killing red. if they kill red entirely, the operation is a wash; red doesn't have to gear to come back from scratch and take out blue team, and even if they could, the travel time to return to globals alone would mean they wouldn't get all the global tasks, potentially meaning they don't take the lead. if blue team is unable to kill red and dies themselves or has to retreat, but succeeds in delaying red, red would face the same problem.

if red sends in all of the task items on one person, and that person dies, even if the rest survived, blue could loot the items from that person and would be able to either use the items themselves, if green is currently the owner, or could run away with the items, effectively wasting red's time and again, meaning they wouldn't get all tasks claimed even if they were able to overtake the runner and reclaim their items.

i'm unclear what would happen if red divided the task items between them since it seems like the person claiming the task doesn't have to have all (or any? again, unclear) the items in THEIR inventory in order to claim so long as a teammate is nearby with the items in their inv (evidence: pac's vod "voltei... o que tá acontecendo no QSMP?!" at roughly 3:00:00; tubbo claims tea and tea is taken out of pac's inventory. i don't know the limits of this strategy)

blue team also has time to swoop in and steal a global task out from under red during this time. say, if red team had claimed the task for 10 tea leaves, upping the price to 15 tea leaves, and then blue team snuck in and claimed the task and set the price up to 20 tea leaves, (since the proposed 10 minute cooldown on claims would be TEAM LIMITED; red's cooldown applying to red only and so on). if red waited until the last second, they wouldn't have the time to reclaim this task even if they did have the resources, possibly forcing them to start their sweep earlier to counter this possibility, at which point team members who had logged on earlier and are out of time by the end of the night, OR members who live in time zones that don't allow them to stay up until server close, may have an easier shot at participating in defending against a global sweep.

all of this DIRECT CONFLICT would make for good audience entertainment and heighten the stakes of an attempted global sweep, since it would practically have to be one team defending globals for an hour while they pipe all their resources into it, knowing that if they die another team could easily swipe their task resources and use it themselves (along with the rest of their gear). it makes it more interesting, while still mostly viable.

plus it would force more strategizing for red team which is maybe just a personal plus, i just really like seeing people planning both in advance and in spur of the moment. it's really satisfying to see how a plan comes together and succeeds or fails; plus, since red team is the main team using this strategy at the moment and their main draw and strength as a team is cohesion and communication this would be completely fucking riveting for me as a viewer so maybe this is just a personal thing. but i really really think it would be fun

but again, i'm not a game designer, or a qsmp player, or a qsmp admin, or honestly even really a gamer? so maybe i'm off my rocker and out of my gourd and this isn't viable or balanced in any way shape or form but YKNOW what is this blog except putting stupid thoughts into the void and seeing if this time the void spits back hate mail so. i'm folding this into a paper airplane and throwing it into the abyss. hopefully it made sense.

k love you appreciate you getting this far, have a good week!!

(i hope your team gets a win in dramatic fashion and celebrates together!!! i hope they come together and unleash a plan so spectacular it takes the server by storm!!! i hope it's so good it becomes a vod you go back to even years in the future!!!! i hope you have a good week!!!!!)

—Hello and welcome—

I’m an artist I guess, not professional yet, but trying to be. Your local accursed one. I guess this is a get to know me kind of thingy d(^^ ;).

As far as name goes, you can call me any part of my username :3. I’m not particularly comfortable disclosing my name and gender at the moment, but I’ll add them to this whenever I am.

Huuuge Castlevania (the games only) fan, so that’s mostly what I’ll be posting and drawing about. My favorite character is Simon Belmont, although I like most characters from the series :). I may also post about Fear and Hunger, Vocaloid, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, and whatever else I’m into at the moment (which I’ll add later if I do change or gain interests). I also have a lot of OCs and projects for them, hopefully those ideas work out eventually.

—Things I’m not cool with—

If I am uncomfortable with you for whatever reason, I will just block you!!! :3 But just in case—

DNI: pro/comshippers, maps, zoos, loli/shotacons, homo/trans/aphobes, terfs, general bigots and racists (might add more, we’ll see)

I am aware DNI lists don’t usually work for people, but that’s not exactly what it’s for since people in the above will probably get blocked once I notice them anyway lol. It’s more for people to know they’re safe from that kind of stuff here.

That being said, please be aware that I’ll primarily be posting art for horror games and media, so my art often contains some dark and violent themes! I try my best to tw, cw, or mature label things whenever it’s not in or common in any of the media I usually draw about, but some things do slip through the cracks. Just know this account is mature d(>< ;).

Please stay safe and block me if you’re uncomfortable with anything I post!!! :O

—Things I am cool with—

Comments are very cool :D! I have asks turned off because unfortunately I’ve been very stressed out lately, but I may still respond to comments and replies

I love doing art trades and collabs and other art challenge sort of things!!! I will also get very giddy if you draw fanart of my OCs or other fanworks, it means a lot to me. (TwT ) Tag and @ games are also cool. Once I’ve chilled out, I’ll be alright with doing ask games again.

I’m not doing commissions at the moment, but I might do doodle requests, and if this changes it’ll be in my description so it’s easier to find d(^^ ).

If there’s anything I feel like I’ve missed, I’ll add it later d(u_u ). This is kinda an ongoing changing kind of post anyway.

Welp, I’m back off on my quest, see ya! \(^w^)

THIS!!!

please PLEASE learn how to tag your fanfics. Don’t tag fluff when it’s angst, don’t tag smut when it’s fluff and please don’t tag characters that ARENT EVEN MENTIONED IN THE FIC!!!!

ever changing winds

Fandom: One Piece OCs in this story: Yuka Kanemoto, Spectre, Carlyle, Willow Summary: Yuka and her pirate crew, the Breeze Pirates were about to have a fine day to relax and restock until a minor incident happens. | takes place before sabaody arc and marineford arc, slight mention of kid pirates (if you squint hard enough oops), no beta read we're basically gods /ref Words: 550

A quiet day was fast approaching for the Breeze Pirates on their ship. They expected this however since the winds were indicating pleasant weather beforehand throughout the journey to restock the ship at a nearby island.

Yuka was on duty to be the helmsman for the day until a voice rang out. 

“Yuka! There's Marines on our tail!” Spectre was noticing while keeping watch for any signs of danger. How long the Marines were on their tail, they had no idea but being one of the two people who has Observation Haki in the crew, it was definitely close enough for them to notice. And close enough for a warning “shot”.

“Man, these days they can't get enough of us, huh? Hold on, let me find a spot!” Yuka replied.

Yuka was a bold woman at times. Hell, if anything, people call her reckless at times. But she was never reckless. She always had an angle to know when was the right time to strike. 

She came close to the tail end of the ship and positioned herself to attack.

Four. 

Five. 

Five Marine battleships were coming closer and closer.

Yuka smirked and unsheathed her katana. One slice. 

“Windcutter Strike: Tenfold.”

Immediately, all but one battleship was sliced in half by the wind itself. 

If anything, leaving one ship behind was definitely a warning shot. 

She's from the South Blue, whose known pirates are known to be a little more vicious than usual.

Spectre chuckles. “Well. I can definitely see people going to the surviving ship to retreat. Don't you think outputting that on Tenfold was too much?”

Yuka snickers in response. “It's the Marines. They know how to swim.”

At the same time, two tables were set up for lunch time and Willow brought out some plates of pasta and grilled fish for the rest of the crew to eat. 

Both Spectre and Yuka come down from their positions, the first mate nudges the captain to get her attention and shows her a sight through an illusion they sent out to survey the surviving ship. 

Officers were scrambling, where they were alerting someone on their Transponder Snail about ‘already sent a message to the pirates’ and ‘awaiting new orders’. 

Spectre stops the vision and looks at Yuka. “What the hell do they mean now? It's a hell of a message if they want to send 5 ships to get our attention but for what?”

“No idea. If something is happening, then we should be prepared for a big event coming our way. But for now, let's eat! I'm hungry!” Yuka replies. 

After a good hearty meal, the crew goes back to their own work. 

A News Coo is now standing on some barrels and Yuka grabs a newspaper and pays the bird. She reads it and something piques her interest. 

Sabaody. 

The winds have suddenly changed for her. She was lucky to know that this little quirk was one of the perks from eating her Devil Fruit. The winds were definitely changing for something big. 

Yuka grabs the shoulder of a passing Carlyle. 

“Carlyle, you're up. We need to go to Sabaody. We need to pay a visit to those Celestial fucks.”

He cracks his knuckles. “Alright then.”

The winds have changed for a war looming at the horizon.

Reading asks:

2. Flops! Or 9. Compels me tho

2. flops! i consider this one a flop because i really wanted to like it BUT. i did not enjoy Things In Jars. it had a great premise, and i love a ghost sidekick as much as the next guy, but it just did not come together for me. and the most frustrating this is that the things i didn't enjoy about it don't seem to be the things that bothered anyone else who didn't like the book so i didn't even get the cathartic release of reading the two star reviews of the book!!

9. compels me tho: this is maybe a goofy answer but i read the first dinotopia children's novel (Windchaser) while on a road trip and it's pretty simple and predictable but DINOSAURS THOUGH. i don't know why i never read this as a child (i devoured A Land Apart from Time) but i know i would have been soooo annoying about it if i had. it's cute!

[apollosdrunkenmixup]

From what I understood of a two hour mutual infodump (I received kratos: god of war lore, he received greek myths)

Kratos is god of war bc he killed Ares (and a lot of other people/gods).

In better news no one is gonna tell the gods about this fuckup of a post bc you’ve assigned Hermes to a comedy club instead of his usual messages lol

this website’s easy watch. *dangles a bunch of greek gods like keys*

I started a fic to revisit my own trauma about a car accident I had many years ago and it's not even interesting unfortunately. I had such a shitty little car crash that sounds so lame to describe but still kinda fucked me up for ages and it makes a not very good story I think.

Anyway it was gonna be Nace seeing a car accident and getting flashbacks to his own but I can't think of a good ending and I didn't want to write about a worse accident than what I had cause I don't feel that's quite my place.
