#rain asks for help

[ididit-allofit-foryou]

so. disabled girlies (in the usa). how difficult is it to switch to a new disability lawyer if you already have one helping with your case. because. mine wasnt answering my calls and emails for. about 3 months. and i called again today and left a voice mail that was like 'hey [name], i just wanted to call again and see if my emails and messages are going through since i havent heard from you in a bit. please give me a call back when you can, thanks.' & she Did call back a few minutes later. and she told me that saying what i did in the voicemail made me 'sound whiny and manipulative' & that she *had* reached out to me a while back and that *i* hadn't touched base since. and 'don't you know that if an email doesn't go through it will tell you? i see *all* my emails. you had mentioned memory problems when we spoke before, right? you should get that checked.' and uh. i cried for 30 minutes after that and. kinda really don't want to work with her anymore. so. yeah. any advice would be appreciated.

OK, fair warning to the few people I actually managed to convince to try the game??

Rain world does NOT play like hollow knight, and you'll get your butt kicked if you approach it like that.

It's really hard. Like, really hard. Instead of the game literally giving you abilities in the form of power-ups and damage buffs, the only abilities you gain is from what you learn and your own ingenuity. You're a rat from beginning to end. If you just beef your way through it, it's gonna suck and you're gonna be confused and frustrated all the time. But if you pay attention, take it slow, and learn how the ai works and how everything interacts with each other, you can consistently get through and dominate situations you thought were impossible to do so when you first began. Now get out there, kill some lizards, and bully some old computers!

Do you have any idea why the arti and hunter multi animator map video was made private? Or taken down at that. I'm just curious.

The host got bullied out of the fandom. From what I saw, the co-host is working on getting the project back up.

I'm not usually the type of person to complain or make fanfare - if a fandom feels bad to me, I just quietly make an exit; but I guess it would be courteous to at least mention that some parts of this fandom are antagonistic to the point that I honestly no longer feel comfortable here myself.

I think it would do good for all of us to consider how the things we say about other people's work affect the *real* people on the other side of the screen, because there's a point at which rightful criticism crosses over to cyberbullying. I hope they're doing better.

"Hello. Who are you looking for?"

Huzzah i made a new blorbo! Her name is Dawn of Partial Life or DoPL/Dawn for short. She's part of Omni's local group. Shes made to replicate the minds of significant figures for people to seek knowledge to incase said figure is 1) too far to travel to, 2) unavailable, or 3) ascended.

She doesn't become the person but she understands how they think and act enough so people seeking knowledge can feel like they're talking to the real deal.

With the ancients gone now she and her peers use this ability to predict how their fellow iterators will act.

If Spearmaster ripped off the flesh covering where it’s mouth would be, would there just be a hole, a normal mouth, or a deformed mouth under there? Would it be able to consume food through whatever is under there?

Ehhh let’s agree not to worry about any of that 🫡

Explanation for a thing below: sometimes, when iterator is just made, ancients paint X on their forehead. Because i think thats neat

It stays for a loong time, tho slowly fades

DP x DC Prompt: Can I Borrow Your Phone?

Okay.

So maybe Danny should have listened to Sam and practiced his flying in their world rather than the Ghost Zone where natural portals were bound to pop in and out of existence whenever they wanted to. But it was hard. Real world meant his parents, Valerie and any Ghost Hunter potentially trying to shoot him out of the sky just for existing! At least in the Ghost Zone he could be left (mostly) to his own devices!

But after he crashed into this new world after a portal opened in front of him he quickly began to realize that a) his phone didn't work, b) he had no idea where he was and c) a lot of the technology around him looked a bit too sci-fi to be real. Never a good sigh.

Thankfully! He had landed behind a barn with a window that had a really cool looking cow inside. He didn't know much about cows and patterns, but a bat looked pretty badass. That mixed with a tuxedo cat and two big dogs that kept coming to check him out he decided to just hang out and wrap his head around the situation. Unfortunately his phone refused to find a signal and he couldn't for the life of him figure out which direction home was.

He was fine waiting until the sun went down before he tried to fly around and find a way out, but then it started dumping rain. So, after hours of debating he followed the dogs (and cat) around the side of a giant house and knocked on the front door. After a long moment an elderly man answered and looked down at him.

He probably looked like a drowned rat with how wet his hair and clothes were, which might have explained the way the man looked him over.

"Uh, hey. Sorry about this but... do you have a phone I can borrow?" He asked.

"But of course, please come in." The man said, then to Danny's surprise handed him a towel that had been sitting on the table near the door.

That was weird, but whatever. He could dry his hair and make a phone call. From there he would - hopefully - be able to find his way home.

Okay but Tommy drops out of high school — he told his father he was gay and he told him he could either be homeless or go to military school. He goes to military school and joins the army and he likes flying the helicopters because it means he doesn’t have to do any of the killing himself. And he makes some friends.

There's one guy who's like the squad leader who's a few years old and built like a Greek god and Tommy's young and a little bit in love. And they're friends maybe even family because this whole group of people spend every waking (and sleeping) moment together. And they all talk like a family and they all say they love each other and tease each other and it's nice. And one night it's just the two of them trading a flask of some sort of alcohol that Tommy doesn't know the name of and the man asks Tommy why he joined the army and where he wants to be in five years and Tommy trusts this man. He's half way in love with him so he doesn't even think twice before he tells the story about the time he came out to his family and his father nearly beat him to death before sending him here. And the conversation tapers off after that and he doesn’t register the change in the air but when he wakes up the next morning he’s being dishonourably discharged because he poses “unacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability”. He knows what that means.

Tommy joins the fire department because he doesn’t know what else to do. He represses anything regarding his sexuality because he knows now that it’s wrong. He almost feels like he has a family again because his captain seems to like him and some of the guys are cool even if they say things he doesn’t agree with. And then he starts agreeing because maybe they’re right and he’s wrong and he’s just inherently wrong. So he follows their leads and is just straight racist because that’s how he can fit in.

And then a black lesbian woman joins and says she’s a black lesbian woman and Tommy doesn’t understand that either because you can’t be queer you just can’t be because it’s wrong.

But he nearly dies and and an Asian man saves his life and a black lesbian woman comes up with a better idea than any of them had and she tells them she’s no different and she is just as capable. So he improves himself he does and he tries to be better but he still can’t be who he is because the last 2 times he was honest about that he was betrayed.

Tommy leaves the 118 and “don’t ask, don’t tell” is lifted and he meets this guy he likes who likes him back and the 217 don’t seem to have a problem with the gender neutral pronouns and he slowly but surely lets himself open up again and be who he is and when the thing with that guy doesn’t work out because he’s moving to New York and Tommy’s not sure he’s ready to leave, it’s okay because his crew is there and they support him and he can still be himself.

If you could, how would you rewrite Raines story arc to be more satisfying? Raine is one of my favorite characters, and THEY deserved a more respectful storyline.

I'll try to keep it brief, I think they should have been written more like Lilith in season 1. And I don't mean by personality or making them evil.

Lilith was also created for Eda's development, her character and backstory basically revolves and Eda, and two of them spend the whole season apart from each other on opposite sides.

If anything this was probably intentional considering how as soon as Lilith moved out Raine was introduced. To be the new character from Eda's past she has to reconnect with. And because of this shot:

The only difference is that the show actually acknowledges all the angst the sisters go through, it's crucial to the story and it means something.

And wether you think Lilith was forgiven too easily or not, there was still a satisfying conclusion of the sister's arc. And it was BOTH their arcs.

There were multiple points where we got to see Lilith's perspective/how she is outside of Eda. Even the entire flashback was through her point of view.

With Raine, we're only really allowed to know them through Eda's perspective. There's only like two scenes I think where we see things from Raine's pov? It makes it seem like Raine is an extension of Eda and not thier own person.

If anything it would work better to parallel Eda and Luz. Amity and Hunter and a similar arc of being antagonistic, learning to go against their abusive guardian, and growing a connection with Luz. With Amity romantic, and with Hunter familial.

It could have shown where Eda failed in her sibling and lover, Luz succeeded, and helped Eda succeed as well. (Imagine if Luz actually did help Eda reconnect with Raine like she did with Lilith?)

But between Lilith, Amity, Hunter, and Raine. Suspiciously only Raine got the short end of the stick.
