#si: why are you me? i'm me

Is anybody's detectives have stats that are... kind of incogruent? As in the stats in game doesn't fully align with their detective, but are there because of certain choices they would make in specific situations?

Because I have that problem with Zuri and I'm...not entirely sure what to do about it. In theory, her stats from highest to lowest would be people/psychology, deduction/knowledge, combat/physical and science/technology - with her exceeding in the first two, and the third being there mostly because of her background in gymnastics.

But in game, specifically in book 1, a lot of the choices she would make as someone trying to solve a murder ends up mostly falling into the science stat. Like taking a blood sample at the warehouse and giving it to Verda to look into, and fixating on the blood samples when she has to choose a general direction for her and ub to go in.

So her stats are weird in game. Like, by the end of book 1 everything is either 50% or a little bit above that. And then in book 2 and 3, most of her choices align with her being someone who has a high people/psychology stat.

But I don't know...if feels weird having the science stat be so high. And Zuri drawing a blank when Nate mentions the crown imperial plant they use to create a smell to ward off the werewolves right at the beginning of book 3 really bugs me lmao. Because that's something she would know - or at least be able to identify.

Now I'm wondering if I should make new saves where I have her make choices based on what I think her stats should be instead of how she would handle things. But that feels weird too.

So...does anyone else have this problem? Do you play your detectives based on what they would actually do or what stats they as a character need to have?

I found someone in my classroom!!! She's so cool and I've sat next to her last year and she always loves to talk and I loved to listen to school recent gossip and this year she's on my latin classes and we've been getting back in touch and!!! And!!! We discovered we both have similar ideas!! I'm explaining her anarchist theory and she shares acab media she just discovered, we circle the 13/12 date in the classroom blackboard and run, I send her tutorials I've discovered on how to do moss graffiti and she asks for information about world events and if I don't know about them we investigate together and then we exchange opinions!! And this, this is so special to me, because I've been trying to connect with someone in my surroundings, and there wasn't— interest. Like I talk and there's this tight smile on my friends face. And. And sometimes it breaks my heart? But this. This is so fucking cool.

i said in the tags of the previous post but I'll say it here to put the thoughts down properly. but kinda ironically, it was fauxcest that made me realise I'm like *this*, not because i liked it but because it made me uncomfortable and sad in an incredibly specific way that made me realise i couldn't just substitute those feelings. i tried really hard and none of it made me not want to start crying and go "you're not my sister. i want my sister". i know it's a certified me problem™ but it's funny to think how many other ppl might have had a similar experience.

"fauxcest made me realise I'm into my family" but absolutely not in the way people expect.

I get uncomfortable when people try to call me their sister or something, either I'm calling myself that to be comforting to someone or I'm not being called it at all. that's kinda all I'll accept. i know there's a degree of being ace involved but feel so unpleasant when someone tries to like push that relationship on me EVEN when it's something I've asked them to try doing (although again don't get me started on being always assigned "Big Sis" as comptop lol)

again this is all a huge big me problem that doesn't affect other people's relationships to incest but it's not a perspective I've seen people talk about before so idk. here it is lol

Okay, see, the thing about your story ending on a negative/dystopian/'despite everything that's happened nothing has changed in society' note and doing so successfully? It needs to have been set up for that in the first place, and it needs to be done in an intentional manner.

I have nothing against works that reinforce how cruel/meaningless/pointless/etc. the world is -- I enjoy a fair few! -- but the works themselves need to be some sort of commentary about it; the plot might be demonstrative of the futility of everything, but the story never should. It should take that and build on it and use it to make a statement, underscore a point, etc. to its readers. Having everything carry on business-as-usual without acknowledging it, especially in a genre that's generally meant to conclude on optimistic, uplifting, and hopeful notes, comes off as callous and in direct opposition with the values it extols.

Plus, the story itself should never be futile because, then, well, it never mattered as a work and it makes no difference if you've read it or not. Which... that's just a badly written story lmao.

I am THE best at going to bed on time, and I swear I'm about to go to bed, pinky promise, but I need to make it known that, y'all, I have a problem. Also, I have good news and bad news:

The good news is, I'm probably going to wind up writing two post-DLC self-insert isekai fics

The bad news is, I'm lowballing that number because at least one of them is shaping up to be a trilogy

...that's more bad news for me and anyone who doesn't give a care about my self-insert bullshit, tbh XD

But yeah, I had the thought of dropping my SI into Rheddah and having her get picked up by the cult and ultimately having to fight against Frey and Sus, and it's been so much easier to write than dropping her into Athia for some reason? Although that could just be bc I'm way overthinking the dropping her into Athia thing, considering I'm adding three OCs on top of the SI and I need to find a way to make all of that make sense. Whereas dropping her into Rheddah, I'm only adding Keen and I've got his plot all figured out no matter which way I write these fics.

So yeah. Two or more for the price of one: absolutely free!

Why do I do these things to myself? Because it's fun :P
