You've Got Mail

Chapter 5: Your Favorite Pen Pal

Ch. 4

Timmy!

I was beginning to think you forgot about me! Sorry to hear that work has been busy. An internship and a night job at the same time is crazy, do you ever sleep??

So I've been going over my notes (your past letters) and I've compiled your lore. It sounds creepy when I say it like that. I really only meant to look back and see what we talked about in our last letters and then, I don't know, my data driven nerd brain went crazy. Anyway, this is what I’ve got. So, I know you have an adoptive dad named Bruce who owns a company that you work at. You used to be an only child but now you have three brothers named Jason, Dick, and one you haven't mentioned yet. Any sisters I don’t know about? lol. Also you have a mildly concerning coffee obsession. I made a note to circle back to that, it'll stunt your growth you know. But all in all, you've led an interesting life Timbo. I guess it's only fair that I give you some of my lore too.

I'll start at the beginning. I was born in Metropolis, like I said in my first letter. Mom and dad tried their best, but dad- or should I say sperm donor- didn't care about us too much. He left when I was young. I wouldn't even remember him if it weren't for the pictures that my mom showed me. All I'll say is thank god I got my looks from my mom.

Anyway, we lived there until I was about ten and then it just got too hard. Rent was expensive and I was too young to help, so we packed up and moved to Gotham. A real upgrade I know, but rent here is cheaper and mom was able to find a job she actually liked. She works at one of the children's homeless shelters near Park Row. And since rent was lower here, I didn’t need to find a job to pay rent. Mom said she wanted me to be a kid for as long as I could. But, being an ally-adjacent kid, it wasn't super easy. I eventually found a good group of friends and we were able to manage just fine.

Going back to your absurd amount of martial arts skills. (I still think three is too many at once) I actually learned some self defense when I was younger. Mom organized weekly classes at the shelter and I would always tag along. I can’t classify it as actual karate, but I can hold my own against a mugger.

Also, I can't believe you have a spreadsheet of each hero's powers. You're a bigger nerd than I am. And I knew your whole righteous, “I don't need powers to be cool” speech was bullshit. Everyone wants a power.

Flying is a cool one though. There's so many uses for it, especially if you could turn into a bird. I think I'd choose one of the big birds of prey, like an eagle or hawk. I bet you’d choose something more stealthy, like a robin or a pigeon. You would blend in with all the other birds.

If I could be ANY animal though, I think I would pick some kind of sea creature. Maybe an orca or a shark. Fun fact about me, I'm actually terrified of the ocean. I hate that I can’t see the bottom and that we have basically no idea what lives down there. So if I had the opportunity, I would absolutely go down to figure it out. Fears and all.

As for my summer plans, it's a whole lot of nothing. I was going to get a job, but nowhere will hire me. They want me to have crazy things like “work experience” and “good customer service.” So weird, but oh well. It gives me more time to chill before classes start. Plus I’ve been helping out at the shelter once a week. It's nice to see the kids and do what I can. They even let me practice first aid on them if they had a rough day. Don’t tell them I told you, though. They like to act tough and pretend they don’t need my help. Something about their “street cred?”

What's your night job, by the way. I’m surprised you need one if you're already working at your dads fancy company. That sounded judgy. I just meant, well, it must be something cool if youre doing it without really needing the money, right?

My question this week is, If you had to choose one weapon to use during a zombie apocalypse, which would you choose and why?

I’d take after my good friend Harley (because apparently I'm a super villain now? Thanks for that) and use a bat. It's reliable and easy to carry, basically the best choice.

Thanks for sticking around Tim, it means a lot. Getting your letter every week always makes me smile. And yes, we're going to stick to letters, email isn’t as special. And I think this is special, or at least, it is to me.

“See” you next week!

Your favorite pen pal,

Quinnley

P.S. Yes, that is my real name. Thanks for the compliment <3 My mom thought it was regal and “unique.” I'm just pissed that I’ll never find my name on a keychain when I go to the beach.

Thanks for reading!

A bit about Shattered!

I wrote a story about Robin and Sunday!

It's about what may have happened during their past, their present and what the reality during and after the never ending dream held for them.

You can find it here!

I wanted to write a bit about my thought process behind writing this, since I have a lot to say and it might interest some people! I also didn’t want to make my notes section way too long and make it hard to leave a comment or kudos.

All under the cut!

Conception

I started writing this story after 2.2 released, but I didn’t finish it until now. It took me so long but it’s finally here! 30k wasn't the amount I expecting but I am all for it.

It originally was meant to be a love letter to 2.2, but it soon became a love letter to Penacony as a whole since there’s spoilers for everything. I had to rewatch the quests often to make sure I didn’t mess up the lore.

I remember I spent a whole day on the 2.2 quest, a Thursday where I sat down on my phone reading through the dialogue and playing the game while wondering when it was going to actually end at one point.

It was way longer than I expected, but I cried by the end of it all while pacing around the kitchen like a crazy person. Seeing Robin jump for Sunday as he fell, I couldn’t help but tear up. It made me love Robin and Sunday way more than I did before!

It was an incredible quest. It was worth all the hours I poured into it, thanking everything that no one was home when I let out noises and screams like a maniac in the kitchen out of all places. I'm a very expressive person.

I also jumped like a maniac when Acheron said Mei, or Yayi since I play with the CN dub! I love Honkai Impact 3rd a lot, if you didn’t know. I mean, everyone knew beforehand but it felt super validating for it to be explicitly said.

I knew immediately that I had to write something for this wonderful story. I’m always inspired to write after a quest, especially one like this. Shaoji cooked with Penacony and he needs to come back and write more for Star Rail.

I had to write Robin and Sunday, because there was so much I could write regarding these two doomed siblings. I did alternating point of views with both of them, as I wanted to tell both their stories.

I also knew that I wanted angst to the max, especially after hearing what the heck Robin went through and the fact that the game barely touched on anything in her point of view. This is the same case with Sunday.

I’m sorry for the pain I have inflicted on you all! I will write a happy story at some point, I promise you. Then again, I've said this before and I still manage to write angst…

There wasn’t much planning for this, aside from a few things from the quest that I wanted to write into it and use…and yet it looks like I’ve meticulously planned it all out doesn’t it?

I amaze myself sometimes. I quite literally surprised myself actually at times, I made stuff connect and I didn’t mean to really. Is this what they call being a genius?

Let’s take it from the top!

The Past

The first thing I knew I wanted to write was how Robin was shot in the neck.

That sounds terrible, damn. I don’t know how else to word it, I’m sorry!

It was mentioned by Sunday so briefly, and then never brought up again by anyone which is insane to me like what do you mean that Robin was shot in the neck in a war she went into?!

We got to see how he was informed by the Dreammaster about it after showing Robin’s letter and how he was going to pack his bags immediately for Kasbelina-VIII but that was honestly it. This gave me the perfect base to write my rendition of how it all happened.

I structured this part by writing out two letters, the one that Robin sent to Sunday and one that Sunday would have written back if he received it first. I then wrote the actual happenings underneath each paragraph that contradict the letters.

My goal was to make this as interesting as I could since it’s the first thing you read in my story. I needed to hook you all in, and keep you wanting to read on until the end.

There is a lot of story building here, describing the conditions of Kasbelina-VIII and some of the messed up stuff that is happening there. It’s rather realistic, because I wanted it to be. If I was going to talk about a war, I would do so properly without downplaying anything.

I first found it strange that Sunday didn’t know about the war at all. I figured, wouldn’t a war be at least broadcasted by the largest government body, the IPC themselves?

That’s when the idea that the IPC was intentionally covering it all up came to me. It seemed like the most logical explanation, and a very interesting one that I could build upon.

Despite Robin’s letter being in her point of view, we see another being shown. The soldiers who she was staying with this whole time, their thoughts regarding the war and Robin herself.

I had to make a reason as to why she would be shot, because she had to be right in the middle of the battlefield for that to happen. If the IPC was covering everything up, they would also stop supporting the poor planet.

These poor soldiers she’s staying with had no new supplies delivered to for weeks, and yet they still gave what they had left to her, showing that there is still kindness in such a horrific situation.

Based of what I could see, Robin wouldn’t let them suffer like this when she learnt about the supply issue by what I assume was on accident generally. I wanted to give the soldiers some character, so I made them lie to her for her sake about how long they didn’t have supplies for.

We have a lot of lying mentioned in this story, since it’s the main premise for both Sunday and Robin. They both lied to each other for the other’s sake, thinking that it was the right thing to do. Lies after lies pile up, and we see what happened when they all came falling down.

I've never been shot before (god forbid) but I tried to imagine how it might have felt for Robin, the way it would make her feel. It did hurt to write this part, the way she still tried to deliver those supplies...the way she belittled herself for lying...

I wanted to make you all suffer, pretty much. That also sounds terrible.

Now, we go into Xipe and THEIR role. The Dreammaster mentioned how Harmony had blessed her by missing her vital arteries, so I made THEM interfere despite the fact THEY usually only observe and watch everything unfold.

THEY said that the bullet was not meant to hit her, but it still did for some reason that eluded them. This was such a major foreshadowing point that doesn't make much sense until later on, I am such a genius for this!

The same case when it is mentioned that someone could try to calculate their reasonings by forsaking their humanity, I was intentionally foreshadowing what Sunday does later on when he tried to.

You seriously would think I planned all this but it sort of came out this way.

Sunday's letter on the other hand, is much more of a character study of himself if anything. I wanted to explore how he would feel about all this, the way he would handle such a situation of his beloved sister being shot.

We know that Sunday uses puppets, but it's never stated why or how he had them in the first place. We can also see how he can manipulate them, making them act out scenes and characters during the time when we are stuck running through those Memory Zones before his boss fight, which I took and built upon the idea.

Sunday is a very complex character, so I made him a little mentally unstable when concerning his sister. The way he lashed out at his puppets, destroying them all over and over while making up scenarios of her shooting in order to cope. He even thinks that a puppet is Robin for a second.

If this is out of character or not, I don’t know. I wanted to give him more character than we see in the actual story, and naturally my thoughts went to this. It is mentioned how much he loves Robin (as a sister obviously), and so I wanted to see how far he would go for his only family left.

I took the concept of Harmony and expanded on it. We can see that Harmony can alter the mind's state, so why not make it so they can control others by altering their thoughts? I often like adding additional powers for the plot that still make sense in the realm of the game.

For Robin, it was mostly subconsciously done. For Sunday, he does it intentionally for his own reasons. Both use Harmony to alter minds without asking if the intended victim wanted it, making them both in the wrong.

We have these whispers present, the choir above that Sunday can hear because of how attuned he is to Harmony, alongside Robin that he rejects often. I don't think this is a thing in game, but I thought it would make everything so much more intriguing!

His distrust in Harmony grows and the rejection started from the first seed of doubt planted by Mr Gopher Wood. I imagine that his manipulation started young, slowly introducing the disharmony into Sunday's ideals.

This whole section quite literally foreshadows the rest of the story, it's great.

The Present

The major part of this story is when Robin is in Sunday's consciousness.

We have no idea what happened to her there, only that they were “put” to sleep. In Ena’s Dream, apparently it is called Tuning that she went through alongside Welt Yang by Sunday, who mentioned that nothing too bad happened to him there.

Then again, apparently it was Jing Yuan who saved Welt from Sunday’s subconscious???? I don’t really know how that works but point is, I had a lot of playing ground for what happens to Robin in there.

Here, we are introduced to the idea of Memory Zones (every time I read this, I think of Mystery Zones from Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum), areas of Sunday’s subconscious that he made to house his manifestations.

The first zone that Robin enters is incomplete. I imagine that Sunday never prepared for the possibility that Robin would ever enter his mind, so she was thrown into a zone that was quickly conjured up to keep her.

Since Robin too is attuned to Harmony, she can affect the Memory Zone to an extent. The colours you see on the ground is from her own power, as you can tell by the fact it originally came from her every single time it is mentioned.

As to why this is happening, I think it’s more of a subconscious thing once again. Robin doesn’t truly mean to use Harmony here while stuck in a random zone.

She can also hear the whispers, although they are trying to help her unlike Sunday’s ones. This is clearly a major foreshadowing point that you realise later on that these aren’t the same whispers.

We see the Charmony Dove from their childhood flying around and giving Robin a bit of trouble. This was definitely Sunday’s doing, who finally decided what he would do with her.

I wanted Robin to sing here because I thought that it was the best way to calm down the little bird, and symbolize how important her singing is to her and the world around her.

As she keeps saying, it’s the only thing she is good for at the end.

It was Sunday who made the bird fly away like a puppet with feathers, and Robin ran after it. I feel like she’s very selfless, to the point that she would run into a trap knowingly.

A zone just for her.

I knew I wanted to use that story with the Charmony Dove since it’s pretty prominent in 2.2. The Memory Zone she runs into is a replica of the bedroom the siblings stayed in, with the Charmony Dove now in the cage they kept it in.

This bird isn’t the same one as before as you can tell, since this whole zone is Sunday’s memory of how he released the small bird to its death. Robin helps it to fly, but it only shattered its wings when it fell as Sunday explained.

That’s when she learnt that this was all her fault, and we learn why that bullet that wasn’t meant to hit her did back then.

It was karma. They do say that karma’s a bitch, and for Robin, it took form with that bullet. It sounds like I’m quoting Jojo Siwa but I’m not, I swear ;;

Point is, I AM A GENIUS FOR THIS.

I didn’t intent for it but I wrote down that sentence “Perhaps, Robin was shot in the neck because of what she did” and my brain connected the dots immediately with what I wrote with Xipe earlier.

Sunday finally makes an appearance in person. This whole sequence is interesting because we have him hurting Robin, as if she was one of his puppets. I intentionally made it this strange, with Sunday mentioning after that the zone fell out of his control later on.

I described how his arms were out like an overseer, that’s a very obvious reference to Otto Apocalypse from Honkai Impact 3rd.

The lullaby part is from 2.3, where Robin mentioned how Sunday used to sing a lullaby to her when she was restless at night. I thought it would the perfect final blow.

It isn’t Robin in that zone. But it is at the same time. It’s interesting, isn’t it? Would it be too farfetched to say that it was Robin's consciousness who transferred into that puppet? Who knows.

Robin “wakes up” from that Memory Zone, completely nauseous and disoriented from the sheer amount of Harmony, or Order she was subjected to. We saw this with that doctor earlier with only a small amount of it used.

It was too much for her to handle. It was only when Sunday appears again to cut through it all, does she snap out of it out of his sheer grace. What a kind person he is.

We learn that Robin is in a cage. This is the same cage we see in her splash art! I like to try to integrate them into my stories, like I did for one of my previous stories with Black Swan’s one!

The two siblings share a conversation that doesn’t end well, with him leaving her. It was the only logical outcome for our doomed siblings here. I feel bad for them.

The cage breaking and Robin singing is also based on her splash art, as I needed a way for her to escape the cage that made sense to her and the story. I think it signifies how important her singing is to her and how Harmony interacts when she does.

We see Robin running around all the various Memory Zones Sunday has, noting how there are many puppets in them. I was alluding to when we go through those Memory Zones in the Grand Theater where Sunday tells us some stories using his puppets.

In one of them…we find her companion that was forced to sleep alongside her.

WELT YANG IS HERE.

I just wanted to write him since he is one of my favourite characters and I had my chance to finally in a story!

You can probably tell how much I enjoyed writing him based on how long his part is. If you have played Honkai Impact 3rd, or know Welt’s backstory, this is my little treat for you. If Hoyo won't make him do things, I WILL.

I made Welt finally use his powers. He’s the Herrscher of Reason, he has the freaking Star of Eden (the 9th Divine Key itself), AND HE BARELY DOES ANYTHING PLEASE DO SOMETHING I WANT TO SEE—

Ahem.

Making a bench is child’s play for Welt. I thought it would be kind of funny if he did.

Welt is more childish here since he wanted to cheer Robin up, who looked clearly sad. I think he probably used to do something similar with his adoptive son Joey when he was upset. He couldn't help but do so for his companion.

The idea for him making himself have wings like hers is from this one comic I saw on Twitter that lives rent free in my mind. I thought it would be a great way to cheer her up while also using his power more!

(It took me so long to find this, it wasn't funny how much I scrolled)

His wings smack right onto his face rather comedically and I took that from the official emojis where you can see Robin hiding her face. I imagine that younger Halovians struggle with their wings moving around and his wings are practically akin to newborn ones.

The power of Reason.

This is where I had to make things painful. Welt talks about his experience, the memory that Sunday chose to use against him. I was thinking about what would be the best memory, and of course I went for the jugular for that pain factor.

This is where Welt Joyce, the former Herrscher of Reason died in the city he was protecting. This was where Joachim Nokianvirtanen, who we now know as Welt Yang received the Core of Reason, the name Welt and a mission from Welt Joyce, before passing away.

It’s a very important memory to Welt, and one I would see Sunday exploiting. Only those who know of Welt Yang’s story would know that the man he mentioned was Welt Joyce since I intentionally didn't mention his name.

For Welt recreating half of the town, I was spitballing about the energy part. I don’t know if Memoria would be a good substitute for Honkai energy but I’m just rolling with it. Don't quote me on that.

The main role of Welt here is to reassure Robin, give her the will and inspiration to keep going despite everything. She even tells him all about her experiences, a connection between the two already facilitated by simple communication.

I feel like Welt is such a father figure. If only we all had him in our lives.

Reality

Sunday has now merged with Dominicus and has fallen to those whispers above, as the never ending dream is taking form.

The Dreammaster, Mr Gopher Wood himself makes an appearance as his former form. In 2.2, all his ravens die and he is never seen again, making it pretty clear that he's dead. However, I assume that he joined the Dreamscape and is now an entity that can oversee everything.

Dead only physically, as you will.

The Embryo of Philosophy is named by the Dreammaster here, since I was wondering how Sunday was named that during his boss fight, although it could have been from the whispers THEMSELVES. I also made Mr Gopher Wood show his true colours, to show that manipulative side.

There was a reason for this. He didn't want his son to start rebelling or second guessing his choice, so he used Robin as a way to keep him ensnared in his deception. Evil, isn't he?

I honestly think that Sunday knew that he would ascend to Aeonhood, as smart as he is. At least, he would have had an inkling of Gopher Wood’s true intentions.

Those whispers were Ena this whole time inside of Xipe as we learn. If Xipe absorbed Ena, wouldn’t Ena still be there? I think Mr Gopher Wood and Ena were in cahoots, scheming together. Perhaps even more than that (gets hit).

How…how dare he?

How dare he glimpse Heaven’s will? How dare he change people’s fate?

How dare he decide the life and death of other beings?

How dare he represent the will of all beings? How dare he control the greatest secrets and riches of the world itself?

How dare he…hold the fate of the entire world in his hands?

These lines are from HI3, particularly from Chapter 3 of Part 2 but slightly edited. This is what Baiji thinks of his actions to save everyone, and I feel like it also applies to Sunday.

We have many HI3 references here. I couldn’t help myself.

We now go back to Robin's point of view. This is after she awakens from Ena’s dream.

I don’t know if any other people woke up aside from the Astral Express + Acheron, Boothill and Black Swan, but for plots sake, there was. Just some random people we don’t care about.

We have Acheron! I wanted to write her since she played a huge part in Penacony and it would be a shame not to after I read this:

The bloody sacrifice becomes the sweet dreamland. The real world will lose meaning for them, while the eternal dream will become their only reality. They will no longer think with time. Their dreams will be connected, which will create a true miracle that transcends finality.

This is also a treat for the HI3 players. The words here are the words that Raven tells Mei before Project Stigma takes place. I was playing through that chapter at one point and thought that the words fit perfectly for this story.

I rewrote Acheron’s part because I disliked what I had initially. I was writing about Finality and how it was the same as transcending Order but it didn’t fit well so I changed it. I wanted to say how Finality governs time and how it can change reality if you had the authority...but perhaps another time.

As we know, Acheron was the only survivor who defeated End, referring to Kevin Kaslana all by herself without her companions unlike in HI3. I had to mention this and highlight the difference between their cases.

She doesn't show up again in the story, but she also impacts Robin in a way.

Miss Firefly takes the stage!

We have a bit of Robifly because I do ship them and I couldn’t help myself when I had a chance to write an interaction between Robin and Firefly. I wanted something a bit more lighthearted to break between all the angst and pain.

I saw how Firefly mentioned that she can't dream, and so I just wanted Robin to tell her otherwise to cheer her up. She’s following Welt’s lead, being that kind and inspirational person!

I’m sorry for making you the third wheel…

Speaking of him, we have Welt again appear! I couldn’t help myself, I just wanted to write more of him and I felt like Robin would try to seek him out first.

Did you know that it was called a Dream Pool, that bed in the Reverie? I had to rewatch 2.0’s quest because I didn’t remember the name for the life of me.

This time, we have Welt suffering yet again…I'm sorry that I only write you like this. He mentions in 2.3 that he dreamt about returning to his homeland and seeing all his old friends. This poor man, imagine waking up to find that it was all a lie.

The yelling mention was obviously a nod to Tesla who I would imagine yell at him for taking this long to return without a single word.

I hope Welt does get to connect with his homeland eventually, I want to see them or hear them!

We then go into the battle against Sunday! I purposely chose Sunday's point of view here, since we never receive it in the game.

I was rewatching the fight, and noted how sudden the switch from the question Sunday asked to mentioning how it was their final talk felt like it wasn’t him talking anymore, which I made the case here since we have my wonderful whispers.

We learn more about how Sunday felt during this, and what may have happened after their fall. Robin mentioned how she woke up by herself, which could only mean that Sunday left her there.

I think he genuinely was upset by the failure, but most of all…failing Robin. The feather falling down is a reference from how there were feathers flying around when Robin appeared and how the Trailblazer took it into their hands.

It clearly has the power of Harmony, and that’s what Sunday can feel when he holds it tightly. I imagine that he would keep that feather with him, as a reminder of what he lost.

The ending is based off 2.3, where we learn that Sunday is captured and will face trial. I didn’t go into much detail since we really don’t know much about how he was caught.

It won’t be the end.

It will be the end of all the suffering.

I will realise my dreams.

I will make my dreams come true.

I won’t fail again.

I will never fail.

The poison to Penacony still lingers.

I am a traitor.

These are Robin and Sunday's thoughts respectfully. As you can see, they are both the same fundamentally. That goes to show how they are both traitors in a way, aren't they?

We have a little ending about the siblings, alongside a story with a snake.

The snake is Miss Jade herself, where Robin went to her to make her greatest desire come true...to let Sunday go free. I wanted to reference the end of 2.3 where we see Jade talking to Sunday, how he was free but he refused her.

I repeated the words Acheron spoke for the very end to tie it all together. The perfect words to end a story filled with so much!

End

Thank you for reading all this! I’ve spent way too long on this story and I’m glad it’s finally out there for everyone to read!

I feel like in terms of storytelling, this is my best story so far! I'm proud of all the elements I was able to merge into this!

- Miku

My top 24(?) screenies from 2024!

Tagged by the lovely @changingplumbob, thank you Kirsty <3

I literally don't know if I even have taken 24 screenshots this year. Let's see...

1, 2 and 3: Some screencaps from a photoshoot I did with my revamped simself. I have MANY variations - check it out, none of those are the one on my current profile picture, or with...

4: Oh Kinha, that's cheating! That is an edit, not a sceenshot! Shhh! I literally don't think I have enough screenies to make this post. Anyways, once I can figure out how to do my tags and navigation posts, expect to see this one in my pinned <3

5: An outfit I made for Sienna that I needed to save for other kiddos too! It's so cute!

6: Vlad. What are you DOING walking around Evergreen Harbor? Not even on my lot, since Journey Delight - the founder of my personal Whimsy Legacy challenge - doesn't even have a house at this point. Just... passing by. It was like... the second night? Anyways, appreciate how marvelous this woman is (and how wacky the sims can be sometimes)

7: Speaking of personal legacy challenges, here's Hendrix Baccinus, the Mint of my NSB save. (The light makes him look blue-ish, but I swear it's mint.)

Look at him. Hot. Handsome. The male quota of this post. He is a baby and a pathetic wet cat of a man. This mfer tried to kill himself! (No joke, he autonomouslt went swimming when his energy was low on Sulani, because he was burnt out. Dude, sims used to be able to juggle a job and an Uni degree!)

I still love him <3

8, 9 and 10: Obligatory Arielly Vespertinai appreciation. Look at her. Gorgeous. My baby. Watcher's favorite (little chew toy nomnomnomnom) <3

Have you seen her? yes? Well, go look again. Until you're mesmerized enough to forfeit your entire mortal posessions to this siren of a woman. Nobody understands the amount of adoration I hold specifically for this little bean. She could kill me and I would still thank her. She consumes my thoughts almost daily even though I have an entire cast to think about so I can support your story babygirl unleash my brain!!!

Also, obligatory gloating that this woman was elected Bronze Medal in @simblorbo-bracket's 2024 SIMBLR SEXYMAN TOURNAMENT. Yes, you heard it right. She's a Sexyman. And is the Sexiest™ of the human competitors.

11: Speaking of Vespertinai's, a draft of Arielly's mom, Elysiann! Still unsure if I want them biologically related or adoptive (makes some sense with part of the lore, screws some other part. UGH.)

don't be fooled, this woman has SUCH a resting bitch face outside of CAS.

12: And on that resting bitch face note, Scione Vespertinai! Ari's younger sister, of whom I have shared custody with @momoception <3 (because someone in her game needed to simp over Lucius Holt, and given I'm his #1 fan in the real world...)

Could you tell my game's eyelashes were still broken on those last 2 pics?

13, 14 and 15: Enough of sim pics for a while, appreciate Elio Alvoretter's (aka, Ari's bestfriend, partner, and overall soulmate) (no, literally.) room. I'm insanely proud of it even if it drove me majorly crazy at some points.

(We do NOT talk about the small desk under the desk. It was fixed after.)

16: On the topic of building, a little bar decoration I made using TOOL. It took me longer than you'd expect.

17: Okay, back to sims because it's all I have at this point. I forgot this cutie's name, but she never really left CAS despite this picture. She was for a BC that never really happened, so I'm saving her for another opportunity. Maybe a spouse for one of my families. Maybe a founder for another legacy? She's kinda packed with CC, so I don't think I'll ever set her for dl.

18 and 19: Some of my girlies for other simmers! Moxie and Apolline were some of the ones I had the most fun doing, and I think that the unused photos deserve a place to shine too.

===================

Unfortunately, the most I could is still short by 5. But then again, 2024 was THE year for me, in terms of personal growth, so TS4 kinda fell behind (a LOT. Some of those pics have literal months of gaps between them)

So with Wild Life finally drawing to a close, I can safely say it's my third favorite life series so far. I could just feel the energy the lifers had through the screen, god I love them.

But with Wild Life finally over, my brain immediately started thinking of the next one, if there will be a next one. And I got a lot of ideas.

Dumb ideas.

Ideas that smell faintly of a 3 AM weed session.

Those sleep depraved ideas that sound good at the time but then you start writing them down and they make no effing sense.

That's what this post is for! It's for my brain to spit out every crack induced, repetitive, and stupid idea into one post so that I can channel the excess hype into other stuff. also (car)met propaganda c'mon it's a blend of the car and the comet, it's right THERE-

BETTING LIFE Probably the most cohesive of the bunch. All players will get a random amount of lives, ranging from 4 to 7. They then spawn in a world where they can only access the bare essentials, meaning no diamonds, gold, TNT, etc. The highest set of armor and tools you can get naturally is iron, and the only weapons you can make are flint and steel.

If this sounds harsh, it is. But, there is a way you can get your hands on some decent stuff. By betting your life away! The players can choose to bet on literally anything, from whoever can tame a horse first to who will lose a life that session. All it costs is your health points. The minimum amount of hit points you can bet is 3, and the most is an entire life(hence the high amount of lives you can get!) The higher you bet, the bigger the payout. You could play it safe by betting the bare minimum or not bet at all, or you could go all in and risk everything for some seriously powerful items.

LORE LIFE It's third life again, but... but lore- Imagine if Third Life's world had a built in story, and the players had to solve it while also surviving with three lives and a dream. Like, the spawn had an underground chamber recording the history of a curse or a kingdom or something. Then there could be two winners: the normal winner and the Lore Master, the person who uncovers the most story. Again, it's not required to figure out the story or to play into it but it's there.

CURSED LIFE Ah, now we're getting into the real crackhead tomfuckery. Cursed Life starts off with the players having 4 lives. And a curse they have to deal with for the entire series. Said curse could range from something as practical as being stuck with leather armor to something as crazy as pseudo vampirism and needing to avoid the daylight and suck life points from other players. Data packs may or may not be included, but it would sure enhance the setting.

REVERSE LIFE All players start off red, with the goal being to reach 6 lives first. To prevent any early perma-deaths, the first 3 sessions have a grace period and the world is set to peaceful. In order to gain a life, players will have to complete tasks placed around the server. Once the grace period ends, the players will have to face the cruel and uncaring world. And other players. It's still a life series, and any red name can still snuff out the competition. Last man standing or first to get 6 lives wins.

TOURNAMENT LIFE You must participate in at least one tournament every session. All tournaments must be held in the arena, and can range from water clutching to fights to the deaths. If it's a competition, it counts. Red names aren't exempt from this, they just lose the privilege of choice. All players have 3 lives.

BUILD LIFE 3rd Life, but you can get access to building materials and create the sickest bases.

MEDIEVAL/FANTASY LIFE 3rd life, but everyone's been isekai'd. Mythical creatures are everywhere, everyone belongs to a different kingdom, and Rendog finally gets to live out his fantasy dreams. Think of Empires SMP, but with far more bloodshed.

DANGANLIFE ...It's literally Danganronpa. One life, 16 participants. Every session, the lifers receive a new motive to murder. Should someone choose to try their luck, a trial will be held to find the culprit. If they correctly find the culprit, they get rewarded and the killer is executed. Guess wrong, and the person with the most votes dies, the rest experiencing a punishment worse than death.

HARD LIFE Take betting life and remove the gambling aspect. Now you have a series where everyone has a limited range of resources to choose from, forcing them to get creative with kills and to be frugal with whatever valuables they do have.

EVO LIFE 3rd Life, except it's old Minecraft. Bless their poor souls.

APOCALYPSE LIFE Imagine Gem's boogeyman curse, but it was altered to be a looming threat for the entire season. Every session, a patient zero was chosen, and their goal for the day was to pass on their curse like a hot potato. Members left uninfected get rewards while the person stuck holding onto the curse gets punished. For reasons, the curse only lasts half of the session.

And that's all for now! If you have any more suggestions, feel free to share them here!

On fWhip's new SMP

fWhip, years after ending the Empires series and New Life drizzled out, has decided to create what appears to be the first season of a new series: SOS smp.

Not an acronym (well, i mean, technically) for a longer name, that's the official title and not the fandom tag.

Other fans have addressed the "no lore" thing already, even though the series is only a day old. Check the tag if you want clarity. Or just, you know, watch the videos.

What I want to discuss is the "twist" that sets it apart from other related SMP concepts.

In SOS, every time you die, you leave behind a gravestone. But, the gravestone will also disappear if a set time runs out. This doesn't just take your stuff away, like one might expect. When you die, you enter spectator mode. And if the time runs out and no one ELSE comes to save you, you are banned from the server.

But that's not all! In order to save someone's life, one must ALSO insert a special currency. Each person starts the server with one coin, but you can get more from doing things. This means that a person could not save you, even if they dug into the deep dark or traveled to the end island, if they did not have a coin with them. Horrifying concept, right?

Now that the basic game mechanics are layed out, let's discuss how this relates to other popular SMPs.

This series could not be another edition of the X Life series, for one thing because of there being no world-gen mods, let alone the numerous amounts of other potential gamechangers Afterlife and New Life came with. Excepting everything related to the gravestones, this is a normal minecraft world.

This also clearly can't be the third empires season, for obvious reasons as well as personal context. And as far as I know, no other SMPs fWhip has played in have been this simple.

In fact, this series most closely resembles the Life Series with its simplicity, modded items, and death mechanics. It most obviously resembles the two newest seasons, with the time limit and an implied otherworldly force that could easily be headcanoned as evil.

Now, what REALLY makes me think is how SOS at its core, is set up to foster relationships. A player is 100% dependant on being rescued, but there are no rules that say a person can't NOT rescue someone else, and no penalizing for it. The worst thing a person could do is completely isolate themselves in a far off corner of the map, or worse, antagonize people without making any friends to balance it out. If nobody LIKES or cares about you, or if everyone agrees the server would be better off WITHOUT you, you will be dead forever. Everyone is encouraged to play nice, buy more importantly, develop a deep bond with at least one other person. But even then, there's a chance that person might not even be ABLE to save you. And THAT results in guilt, hatred, and hurt.

Everen, the person who made the iconic Who Are You Really, Everybody Wants To Rule the World, Running Up That Hill, and Battle Cry animatics, once said on stream that Secret Life has been her least favourite season so far, because she felt that none of the alliances really cared about each other. Now, I highly disagree with that take, but I was thinking about it. She said that the creators seemed more focused on making each new episode a Crazy Action-Packed Banger, that they forgot that what most fans really cared about were the quiet moments that make you root for a couple to survive. That, much like Last Life, the twist that season ended up driving people apart and breaking trust, even though the shenigans were funny to watch in comparison to largely angst-inducing. And, unlike Last Life, the winner that season was not the one person who defied the rules more than anyone else; the winner was someone who had played the game, had no allies, and was forced to hurt people and not explain himself. And considering the observation that each season's new rules seems to be based off of the previous winner's Life, I only fear that the next season will be even worse in those regards.

Then, you have fWhip, who'd never been a member of the Life Series (kinda hoped he would, but thats just me), and his new server seems like... like it's rules were made in opposition of that trend.

SOS will, there is no doubt, have at least one tragedy like I had formerly mentioned. Someone will eventually permadie because they had no allies, or were general jerks. In order for the server to end, everyone has to stop saving each other, until there is no one left to save the "winner". There WILL be angst. And there will be relationship drama to make it all hurt more. Even if there is no "lore", no characters or backstories or connections to prior series, there will be fanfics made, fanart drawn, analysis thought of, poetry written, and even songs produced. People will care about this server, even if the community is small and Hermitcraft's stories are booming.

And I am so glad that this series has been made, at this time when Hermitcraft and Life Series seem to hold a monopoly on this fandom.

Review

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC!

It may be too early to say, but I'm pretty sure this is the best book I have read (and will read) this year.

First of all, the world-building is incredible. The amount of history and lore in this thing is crazy, I imagine the author must have spent years and years coming up with this world. The lore of Grey Tower is the most focused on, being that that is where the main characters are from, but we get to see glimpses into the history of the other towers, and every little detail is fascinating. This book reminds me a little of Alice in Wonderland, with how different and weird the people and creatures are, as well as how the certain aspects of the story are just weird and nonsensical. I could go on and on about this, but I think it's best to go into this book knowing nothing about the world and experiencing it for yourself. Even if there was no plot in this book, I would still love reading about and exploring this world.

Speaking of the plot, the pacing at the beginning is incredibly slow, although it gradually picks up, especially towards the end. Most of this book is spent travelling, which is great because you get to spend more time in this world, but not great if you're more into fast-paced action-packed type of stories. This book also switches up like crazy, one moment everything is chill and then BAM emotional devastation that comes out of nowhere, and the characters just carry on somehow. The ending though. I need therapy for that ending. Like, I am so mad about this book, and I mean it in both the angry way and insane way.

This is hypocritical, given all the rambling I just did, but I CANNOT talk about this book further because it has to be experienced with a blank slate. (Which is how I experienced it, I literally requested the ARC based only on the cover, which is so gorgeous, maybe one of my favourite book covers ever.)

Anyways! Read this book it will ruin you <3

Skylanders Review: Trigger Happy

Oh yes, my first fave. Let's talk about one of the many "subspecies" of Skylanders: The Gremlins. You see, since a major part of the Skylanders are the collectible figures, they would obviously need a way to make manufacturing them easier. So, while each figure is obviously unique in how it's detailed, they will often use a specific body type as templates for multiple figures. Similarly to how Neopets and their alternate forms work. Spyro shares the "Dragon Template" with several other characters, which we'll see soon, but for now we have the "Gremlin Template".

[Image: Trigger Happy is a short Gremlin with a Firey orange and sandy tan color scheme. His body is covered in uniformly orange fur, with the inside of his ears and the entire front of his body/the area acting as his face being tan. He has small stumpy feet and muppety three fingered hands with forearms thicker than the rest of his limbs. He has yellow eyes with black irises, almost always crooked, alongside fur around & in-between his eyes that's orange - making a pattern resembling a domino mask. He is almost always smiling with his comically large tongue hanging out, with teeth that are almost human-like with sharp canines. He wields two large pistols designed to fire gold coins, and in this specific image, he's straddling a golden cartoon missile Dr. Strangelove style.]

With Trigger Happy you'll be able to get what the body type is all about. A neckless and round being, more like the head itself is its entire body, supported by four limbs. There's not many of them, but each one is so unique it really does highlight how you can stretch one body type in so many ways.

Trigger Happy is a mysterious little guy, being the token "crazy loose cannon" as his name would suggest. He simply showed up one day, explicitly role playing as a western hero type, and protected frontier towns from bandits with custom-made guns that used coins as ammo. He's a Tech Skylander, as being an engineering savant is basically second nature to all fictional Gremlins, and he can even bring out a Coin Gatling gun as a special move.

He has a high pitch, kinda grating, voice; but in early Skylanders trailers he has an accent that sounded like an incomprehensible mix of Spaniard and Frenchman - almost like he's a Team Fortress 2 character.

In fact, doesn't that game have its own...

Anyway, I love these reviews because it really does highlight why I love my favorites. Trigger has a simple design, but making one of your playable characters marketed towards children a gremlin packing heat is just instantly hilarious. And it's only today, as I'm writing this, that I realize that the pattern of fur on his face is meant to resemble a domino mask. That really ties together his "Goldslinger aesthetic," though I still think he needed a ten-gallon hat.

Alternates: I don't know if I'll talk about all the recolors and occasional redesigns some Skylanders get, but I feel like I should tell you guys that Tigger Appy gets to wear an Evel Knievel Daredevil's costume for Superchargers, the game where the Skylanders get to Mario Kart with Bowser and Donkey Kong. Both he and the other two I reviewed by now have another-other form, but they're so weird we'll have to review those things by themselves down the road.

We'll get to Gimmicks once we get to Giants.

Trigger Happy is a fun exploration of his trope, and it's nice to know that the Skylanders team had bangers right out the gate considering he's one of the first few original Skylanders designed after the beta five.

Motto: "No Gold, No Glory." - Great Catchphrase, even if it's very obvious that it doesn't apply to him specifically. His lore outright states that the townsfolk that he saves get rich from the amount of gold coins his battles leave behind. I think that concept applies to the NPCs of Mario and Sonic games too, considering those two mascots become ATM machines whenever they walk into anything with a sharp corner.

The same thing happens to babies by the way. 4/5.

Trigger Happy gets 5 Chompies. The first of my personal roster.

Those cowards couldn't even be bothered to arm this child.

Some of my favourite music!

The Brave Little Abacus - Masked Dancers: Concern in So Many Things You Forget Where You Are

An incredible mash of Math Rock, Midwest Emo, some elements of Progressive Rock, and probably much more, I have no idea honestly. This is a hard album to classify; I had never heard anything like it before the first time I listened to it and still have not. I happened to come across this album when I was first getting into music and when I had first made a Spotify account, about January 2019. It immediately enthralled me, with vocalist Demirjian's harsh yet emotional vocals, the constantly innovative rhythms, and a sound unlike any I had heard before and did not know how to classify. I quickly found out: I would spend the next month consuming these new genres I had discovered called "Midwest Emo" and "Math Rock". I believe this album is what really gave me my jumpstart in music listening. If I had not discovered it I probably would have given up on personally looking for music and gone back to listening to whatever was on the radio or in media I consumed lol.

Eventually I found that Midwest Emo was not my absolute favourite genre, but this album has still influenced me to have a love for kickass riffs and any kind of experimental rock. Map of the Stars is the best song ever btw

Deerhoof - Love-Lore

Oh boy what can I say about this. A short, mathy and noisy trip of 34 minutes, but one that will stick with you for a long time. I would not hesitate much to say that Deerhoof is my favourite band; these guys have been pumping out some of the most consistently intricate and interesting arrangements For the past couple decades, and this is them at the pinnacle of those two descriptors I think. Every track on this is great, but I have to highlight 2 and 4.

The second track is, for the most part, a smooth guitar riff backed by an arrangement I can only describe as being similar to a factory assembly line; everything falls into place as if deliberated according to calculations. Satomi's mechanical vocals add to this mood, and her sugary voice keeps it interesting. A couple minutes of waiting pays off, when the guitar explodes into a new riff packed with noise and Satomi attacks her vocals with renewed energy.

Track 4 is 19 minutes, which may be daunting but is definitely worth it. Sections of dissonant guitar plucking, simple rock made enjoyable by Satomi's cheery vocals backed by Deerhoof's characteristicly noisy guitars, and even a section of very spaced notes somewhat akin to Glenn Branca's no wave classic "Lesson No. 2".

Love - Forever Changes

A 1960s Psychedelic Rock classic, but also on top of that a product of folk and classical music. This is, in my humble opinion, the best executed album ever. The instrumentation is nothing insane: vocals, acoustic guitar, drums, violins, and pretty much anything else you would find in any and every other album that those genres listed above encompass. The rhythms are not crazy either. It is the way the instruments interact with each oher that makes this album shine so much. "Alone Again Or", for example, is so dreamy, with Arthur Lee's vocals climbing up and down and doubling each other, while the violin and guitar somewhat subtly climb pitch and volume in the background until both instruments and the vocals explode for a short refrain, immediately followed by a quiet guitar solo to regather everything.

This shit really is psychedelic though, the way Arthur Lee and his army of acoustics pick you up from "Alone Again Or" and keep you enchanted all the way until the end of "You Set the Scene", which is an outright incredible closer by the way. I have listened to this album in full something well over a dozen times and it still never fails to keep me interested. I even get something new out of it everytime: truly, Forever Changes.

Radiohead - OK Computer

I am not going to spend my effort adding more words to the multiple Bibles-length amount of words already written about this album dude All I will say is that it really does deserve the hype

Mr. Ye - The Life of Pablo

This is simultaneously the funnest hip hop album ever and at other times the realest. It is certainly a mess to listen to but that kind of adds to the fu,n and more importantly, the worth of its themes. Something something Kanye knows he is flawed and tries to enjoy life regardless but it gets to him at times, which is very evident in the up and down nature of the album. Sound-wise there is obviously a lot of experimenting, as is characteristic of Kanye. Noise rock fans might be drawn to "Feedback".

Well, that is it I suppose. There are a couple of interesting albums I have been racking hours on recently, so this list may have some new additions. For now, I would like to list some honourable mentions:

Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation (Some of the coolest guitar tunings and transitions ever hoooollyyy this album is so raw)

Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind (This 2 hour and 21 minute behemoth is the most expansive album I have ever listened to. How the hell is an album at times no wave, musique concrete, and at One point EDM?? And it has a cohesive mood throughout the whole runtime?? Gira outdid himself.)

Bladee - Gluee (I apologize for listing a Bladee album along with these other titles but it is such a fun album LMAOOO)

Sweet Trip - Velocity: Design: Comfort. (This album really should not work. I think if it was order one track differently I would not have liked it. GG made me feel like I was having a stroke good album)

Polvo - Exploded Drawing (Avant-garde and post-hardcore goodness. "Fast Canoe" is great.)

dreamygirl's weekend! 5 and 6 april 2025 ౨ৎ

this weekend was actually pretty good! marks the end of mid semester break tho 😓

saturday:

woke up like after 9 which is very out of character for me. kinda threw off the whole day but it felt good to be all cosy and warm and sleep in for once.

ok kinda did spend a crazy amount of the day scrolling and I think over the past week I've developed a kinda serious attachment to my phone and it needs to end.

had a little call with my besties! missed them sm. i started a new group *the book* book in which we'll document all our lore and be silly in. made the cover all cute and scrapbooky

ate noodles for lunch. mightve been the best bowl I ever made. something about it hit different. maybe the amount of water I added? lifechanging.

more scrolling through the afternoon unfortunately

went for a walk with my family so that was fun, something I never do. was good to get out the house and get some fresh air. chatted with my dad the whole time so it was nice spending time with him.

ate a deliiiicious chicken curry for supper

watched 'the life list' with my mom and omg love that movie sm!! anything with sofia carson slays every time. also happy i spent some time with my mom.

journaled for like an hour before going to bed. FINALLY caught my diary up to speed with all the events of the last week before break. I will! in the future update daily. and hopefully the rest of the semester won't have such a crazy storyline. we are tired.

sunday:

woke up earlyyy for church. kinda woke up a little later than I planned and also had no idea what to wear but threw something together and it came out cute! a bow on top fixes anything.

omg church was amazingggg bro like haven't felt God's presence in a minute but today?? it was beautiful. also took communion. like bro holy spirit was movingggg.

like I felt so filled with the holy spirit I could like feel myself acting more like myself. or like just generally feeling so much better and happier like immediately after church. guys srsly just praise God and let him take care of you.

like in the parking lot of the grocery store we went to afterward I saw a butterfly and some cute little birds and I literally said "hi butterfly you're so pretty" "hey birdies you're so cute" to them. the holy spirit will in fact make you a disney princess.

grocery shopping was funnn bc it was so early so the store was so empty.

came home and didn't scroll as much today!

did like no work in preparation for this week but heh oh well

did some yoga and omg felt so good after. swept my room and cleaned my uni bag and packed my pencil case and literally rearranged my pyjama drawer and my tops and organised it so I actually have seasonal pieces in there now. like yoga energised me fr. never underestimate the power of a good stretch and fairy lights. not even music needed to be put on.

made chicken wraps for supper was yummyyy

had a shower and moisturised my whole body

drank lots of water

scrolled on reels bc I couldn't help it

yeah that's it! hope you guys had a lovely weekend and moved your bodies and ate well and spent time with your loved ones ♡ uni resumes tmr and I have like 5 quizzes due and only 1 free period. stay tuned to how I handle that (I have no idea as of now) however I can say that my outfit will be cute!

xoxo, dreamygirl.

Winner* My vote

This is 3k of song propoganda lmao

1.Christ* vs Christ (KaD remaster)

Christ was peak to begin with. The remaster really just adds that piano bit throughout, and while it is definitely a good part of the instrumental, it gets a little repetitive. Best used in short bursts, I think

2. Iesu* vs Iesu (AB remix)

This was sooooo hard I love them both so much. I can't believe how few people voted for the remix tbh. I would vote for the original purely because, while the remix is definitely punchier, I really love the way Abuse mixed his and Miku's vocals in the original. They both have different tones, the original more forlorn and the remix more angry, and I think they both convey that really well

3. Bush* vs Bush (vocaloid demo)

I really love the demo, but Abuse's vocals are really wonderful in Bush. Another close vote though, Len sounds great here

4. Judas* vs Judas (KaD remaster)

Judas has the honor of being the only KaD remaster that I prefer. He really brought up the instrumental in the chorus and bridge to feel more alive, and I appreciate his usual little glitchy effects scattered in

5. Wedding Festival* vs Wedding Festival (KaD remaster)

I really have no strong preference between these two, despite their differences. I think Wedding Festival is definitely one of his discography's strongest songs stylistically, mixing his folk sound with typical vocahorror bs. I think I prefer the original purely because I've listened to it more

6. Siiim2* vs Siiim2 (2024 remaster)

I genuinely cannot tell the difference between the two lmao. Would have voted randomly

7. Snake* vs Snake (acoustic)

Kind of an obvious choice. Snake's acoustic cover is soooooo goddamn good, but not long enough to really be a competitor to the original. Full cover when I need it like water

8. In the Blanks (demo) vs In the Blanks*

I love his demo, Abuse sings this song beautifully, but he is so fucking quiet. I can't listen to this song when it comes up on soundcloud because I cannot hear him. I had to crank the volume to 400% when I edited it for youtube

9. Want to be Cremated* vs Dogdog

Another devestating choice. Both of these songs are incredible, obviously, as they are his top two in terms of popularity. They both have wonderful sound and beautiful lyrics to go with really cool PVs. Shoot me now. Want to be Cremated wins for me because A.) obviously I am biased as the #1 fan of that storyline, and B.) I just think it sounds nicer. Entirely personal preference

10. Flower War* vs Flowers, Mountains, and Funerals

Even if Ito was not my blorbo of all time, I would still vote for Flower War. Flowers, Mountains, and Funerals is among the only Abuse songs I will skip on a playlist. I'm so sorry. Regardless of either of those points, Flower War is genuinely a really beautiful work? I love the PV's visual style, it looks like watercolor, and the backing vocals of Miku's sound like crying and dogs howling AUGH Abuse is so talented

11. Dear Suns* vs God, Please ( ) Me, a Monster

Once again I am extremely biased but also no I'm not. GP()MaM does not move me. It's okay. It's fine. Nothing to write home about. Dear Suns????? Augh. Abuse does folk music incredibly, the instrumental alone is one of the best I've ever heard. He's also got some lyrical genius going on here, the amount of lore packed into this one song is crazy. It would not have won without my efforts you guys need to do better /j

12. Firewater* vs Ren-kun?

Both very good songs, but hard to compare as their vibes are so different. I might like Ren-kun more if I'd read the story it's based off of, but alas, I have not and will not. Miku sounds very unique in Firewater, and the story is fun

13. Distoartion* vs King

Both of these songs are on pretty equal levels for me. I love King's lyrics, but they're so good they go over my head a little. His political lines are so funny to me because I go "YEAH!!" on the general points, but I do not know any of the cultural things he references. Either way, Distoartion is fun musically and conveys a feeling that not many people can get at lyrically

14. That Whale is a Villain* vs Let’s Clean Up

Another political one that I would need to analyze more to fully appreciate. That aside, I really love Whale's story and sound. It's a very beautiful song with an illustration to match

15. Wan Wan Wanderer vs Shinjuku Jack*

Both of these songs are incredible, and I would have been happy about either of them winning, but I am a little sad to see Wan Wan Wanderer leaving so early in. The title's pun is fun, I love the PV so goddamn much, and I'm impressed by any song that has sort of "sections" like WWW does. His use of all three vocaloids is incredible, it can be hard to use that many and make it sound clean. Very cool song, but Shinjuku Jack is too, so 👍

16. It’s Called Platonic Love vs Hanamuke*

Hanamuke is so clearly superior in my opinion. Abuse tunes Len sooooo so well, and Vetiver made a really good PV. It's also obviously unique from a lot of other songs in its long screaming section. Still biased because this song means a lot to me (Abuse deadass saved my life whoag), but I'd vote for it even with sentimental value aside

17. Goodbye, My Country* vs Don’t Kill

I don't have a strong opinion on either of these songs, but Don't Kill :((( Don't Kill my love :((( It’s the perfect ending to an album, I used to go to the park and listen to D/S/L on loop, and let me tell you the vibes are so good. Would recommend. His bird samples go crazy

18. Abortion vs Calsi and the Old Man*

Abortion should have won idc idc. I don’t really care that much about Calsi, but Abortion sounds soooo pretty. The instrumental is so soft and lovely, and I’ll always appreciate a song that’s six minutes long but doesn’t feel drawn out at all

19. Summer of Frostbite vs Identification*

These are both gorgeous songs, but I would have voted for Summer of Frostbite purely because I listen to it more often

20. Bye Bye Mushroom* vs Shokishodo

Bye Bye Mushroom is the clear winner here I’m sorry. The PV is so colorful and fun, and for Abuse’s first song with only Rin he made her sound really great in his style. Hoping someone can translate for it soon

21. Deadstock* vs Iron

I really love Iron’s visuals, and Abuse’s tuning style always goes so well with Len. I debated adding this one because it’s technically originally posted on someone else’s channel, but it was too good to skip

22. Yellow Papa* vs Nostalgia

Ito sweep continues. Both of these songs are very good, but Yellow Papa has such a fun instrumental. I’m glad we got this on AB because it’s such a good lore filler for Ito even if it didn’t get fully fleshed out. Here’s to hoping it gets a PV like the rest of the series someday

23. Run Away from Home vs Believe It*

This one had me tearing my hair out aughahfhrhdhdh. Run Away from Home is one of my favorite of his more recent works I am absolutely beside myself. Justice for Run Away from Home

24. Small Freedom vs Horinouchi*

No strong preference here. Neither of these songs do much for me

25. Bye Bye vs River Rafting (demo)*

River Rafting is another one of my favorites by Abuse, it’s such a beautiful piece. I know a lot of his demo songs never get a not demo version, but I’m excited for what he does with this one if he continues working on it. Anyway are you ready for me to say something controversial. I HATE BYE BYE IT IS SO ASS I’M SORRY

26. Moths and Mayflies* vs Blue

Moths and Mayflies definitely deserved to win, it will always be in my top favorite songs of his. I wish we had a full PV for it, but I think it’s impressive it conveys such strong emotion and has such a good story that it doesn’t really need one

27. Syuno Keru* vs iKill

While Syuno Keru deserved to win, I have a soft spot for iKill. It is by no means one of his best songs, but god it’s such a fun, unique work

28. Menthol Tear* vs Tomato

These are both very good songs, but I will always be biased towards anything on D/S/L. It has a very nice story, and I like the flow of the chorus a lot. Tomato could probably compete with some of his soundcloud works, but it doesn’t really measure up to his more fleshed out works

29. Albino vs Holy Springtime of Life*

I’m soooo upset about Albino, I could listen to it for hours. The instrumentals are so soft and flowy, and Miku’s tuned very nicely. I will always wish it was a longer song

30. Double Suicide* vs He is a Ghost

Another hard decision. Double Suicide is really good in terms of his shorter songs, while He is a Ghost is a really good display of his unique style of mixing vocahorror-ness with his usual type of music. I’d have to vote for technical skill and which is more loopable

31. Monkey

I don’t wanna talk about it 😭 I’m so mad how did I forget this one. Anyway Monkey sweep I love Monkey go Monkey

32. Heart Attack* vs Yes Yes Yes

Hai hai hai hai hai hai hai hai hai hai hai hai hai. Idk it’s fun

33. Jack was a Bad Guy* vs Smoke and Rain

Smoke and Rain is a very cute song, but Jack is obviously a lot more complex and put together. I am curious if this got sweeped so hard because nobody likes it or if the other one was just. Yk obviously going to be a more popular pick

34. Uriro-Uri Bit my Tongue vs Buglitch*

I’m glad Buglitch won because I developed beef with Uriro-Uri making the lyrics for these songs. I had to quit for a day and a half because it pissed me off so bad. Buglitch was nice and easy and wonderful. Fuck you Uriro-Uri /j

35. Kattarura vs Bad Night*

Obviously Bad Night is a demo, but I’m a little surprised it won. It doesn’t feel very put together for me personally. Kattarura is simply okay as a song in my opinion, but I definitely prefer it

36. Kujira vs Arukari*

These are both very good songs off of these albums, but I do like Arukari’s flow just a liiiiittle bit more

37. Ignite I vs Pagan by Nature*

The Ignite series has a very fun sound between all of them, but Pagan by Nature definitely feels more full as a song. I think part of my preference is having a translation, which is a shame for a lot of these songs

38. First Snow vs Capital Punishment*

I find both of these songs a little repetitive in their sound for me to really get excited about either of them, but Capital Punishment is much easier to listen through without getting bored. That’s not to say I dislike either, just not his strongest contenders

39. Morgue vs Youth Will Kill You*

This is another close tie for me. I prefer Morgue’s general sound overall, but Youth Will Kill You’s chorus is just so good, and it’s a lot more interesting of a sound right off the bat

40. Night Light Train* vs Innocence

Night Light Train is an incredible song I love it so much. I’m so glad the PV for this one was found, the illustration is very pretty and adds to the overall feel of the song very well

41. Krampus* vs Woman First and Woman Second

Krampus has a really good sound to it, Teto’s tuned very well which is high praise coming from me. I really hope someone can translate it at some point, because it’s probably one of my favorites off of Graveyard

42. Eugrom* vs Caught Caught Caught

These are both very good songs, but I definitely think Get Caught is the stronger contender musically. I can’t really talk when I would have voted for iKill, but it feels like more of a song rather than just noise

43. √Temporary Law* vs Hyper-Sensitivity Objectivity Syndrome

I’m glad √Temporary Law won, it’s such a simple song, but I really love the sound of it

44. Equality and Kafka vs Ignite II*

Equality and Kafka my love :( it’s such a simple song, and I usually hate Teto in basically everything (sue me), but god. It’s so good. It’s very endearing to me

45. Low Pressure, No Limit vs Falling*

I love love love both of these songs, I’m really not sure which I would have voted for. They both have really lovely sounds. I’m happy with the results

46. Laundromat* vs iKill2

This was the only tie I had trouble picking between, but obviously I went with Laundromat. The instrumental’s very nice, and it just has something I think iKill2 lacks

47. >>4 I’m on My Way vs Gasoline Bridge*

Another case of Gasoline Bridge being more of a song than >>4. Still very fun, but it would be hard to justify it getting to round 2

48. Killo* vs Reversible Gochujang

I’m honestly a little surprised this one ended up in a tie, I consider Reversible Gochujang to be one of Abuse’s weaker pieces. I love Killo’s almost discordant sound

49. Moveaway vs Ignite III*

Ignite III was the obvious choice here, Moveaway is another song that doesn’t really have a lot going on with it

50. A Very Pleasant Day in May vs Dogdays*

I understand why Dogdays won but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t make me sad. It’s a clear winner but. Augh. Pleasant Day is just so soft and pretty, I could float off on a cloud and fall asleep to it

51. Untitled (white)* vs Untitled (dog)

The winner is an incredible song while the loser is another very quiet one without much exciting happening. Abuse sir please name this song I love it a lot

52. The Call of the Beast vs Trust Me*

No strong opinion on either of these. I do like Call of the Beast a little better because it reminds me of the Little Nightmares OSTs (which you should totally check out)

53. Ignite_ vs Porn, Movies, and Melonpan*

This one would have been really hard for me, because this is my favorite out of the Ignite quartet, but PMaM is one of my favorite spotify-only songs. I would vote for it honestly just because it’s a fuller song with a more complicated instrumental

54. Buy a Gun* vs iluvmusiciluvfurry

It is devastating to me that iluvmusiciluvfurry is not a better song, because god is it a great title. Buy a Gun is a wonderful song though with a really unique sound with whatever instrument that is. Xylophone?? Idk. There’s a clear winner but the loser will be sorely missed

55. Bullet* vs Ma • Ga • I • Mo • No • Kan • Zen • Tai

I’m sooooo sad over this one. I love (song name I’m not writing again) so much. It’s objectively not anything special but it has such a fun sound. RIP

56. Let Snakes Become Dragons* vs Cum

Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby /ref LSBD is phenomenal you should all go listen to it right now because I know most of you probably didn’t

57. Rakuraku vs Sink Into the Dead of Night*

I’m really kind of surprised by this one? Probably just a matter of personal taste and my bias against Teto at play, but I really love Rakuraku as a song. It’s very nice to walk places to, it has a nice calming atmosphere

58. Sorry to Bother You So Late at Night* vs Ikebukuro Night West Exit 20240623

I’m soooo torn on this one. They’re both some of my favorites of his songs on soundcloud, but I’d have to vote for Ikebukuro. It definitely doesn’t sound like a traditional song, but I love the atmosphere he sets with it

59. Water Balloon vs Kumaroshi

This is the only poll I can still influence! Please vote Kumaroshi it is clearly superior in every regard. I don’t think I have to explain

60. A

Very punchy, very emotionally stirring. Love. Stay strong in future rounds, A, ily

If you read all this, I’m sorry

This is so real tbh, starting as a Dreams moth, watching the sky economy just turn into a hell fire is just crazy to see. I remember the downtime that came after older seasons to where you could steadily get more candles and didn’t feel super pressured with the idea that ANOTHER season is just around the corner. And now I’m just imagining the utter stress new players are facing looking at the crazy cost of items these days without buying candle packs. There ain’t nooo way man…

Also just the prices, whether that be candles or iaps have been getting freaking crazy…If all of them are gonna be this expensive, at least make it worth the cost when I could be using that money for other things as well. Like op mentioned, it reminds me also of the season of nesting shop and how freaking EXPENSIVE the furniture is in ascended candles as far as I can remember. The grind for ascended candles is something I don’t do much anyway, but for people that do it really does sound like a serious commitment. I am genuinely curious on how someone who regularly ascended candle grinds does that and how they feel about it because looking at it from the outside it sounds like HELL

The ticket system is okay for the most part (I just kinda hope they don’t do something like the tournament with how you get the tickets at your own mercy again, more so for the crazy price of the items expecting you to grind out the games…it felt pretty time consuming imo but I’m not sure if other people feel the same (which is very valid I think I am just going thru sky game burnout))

Which is another thing, just with the grindiness of the game, it really does make it a challenge to stay motivated or look forward to get on and play. And don’t get me wrong, I LOVE sky and what it brings, just the mechanics they have been bringing in has been making it hard to enjoy the actual gameplay aspect of the game. (Plus the crazy amount of bugs with only an apology letter for these game breaking bugs that continue to happen almost on repeat) I love the lore but I wish they brought that out more and expanded on it (maybe two embers will go into that but I wish it could also be told in game form more)

I agree, it really makes me sad the state of the economy of sky. Sky is a very dear game to my heart and has brought so many amazing memories with friends and helped me create the characters i think about so hard. But the current state of the game really has me scratching my head at the decisions TGC has been making. Hopefully there will be a positive change in the future. I am holding out for hope.

Been thinking about this a while so as the Shattering Spirits are being rolled back soon here are my thoughts on the Sky Economy. a VERY long post.

Event Spacing (1)

I joined right after Season of Prophecy ended, Season of Dreams was to start in about 3~ weeks? not sure since it was a long while ago.

Later seasons I notice rather than getting up to a month of season downtime, we now get as little as less than a week to break between seasons. Season gaps became slim. Hardly time for off season daily candle quests that make racking up normal candles easier.

On top of this, “Days Of —“ Events became more and more prominent, being mashed on top of Travelling spirits and new off season cosmetics that cost white candles. There’s no room to breathe, its almost a punishment to players who’ve taken breaks from the game after burning out from having to candle run consistently just for new items. Cosmetics that they miss out on get price hikes from their original value in reruns with the new ticket system. It’s a cycle of fomo and it’s what’s killing the playerbase in the first place.

The lack of spacing seems pretentious in a way, since nearly with every update, a new game breaking bug is rolled out, makes it feel ironic since season down gaps have been cut for seemingly no reason.

Ticketing (2)

A while ago TGC added the ticket system denoting inflation in the sky economy, it was made to remedy the fact people can’t keep affording everything with candles.

Yes it did help somewhat, as the tickets are very easy to collect, but with 3 new ftp cosmetics that are bought with these tickets and some things costing up to a weeks worth of tickets it’s easy to have to skip these items because some people just don’t want to do more daily searching on top of the already daily quests from the questgiver.

Returning items not only are insanely expensive but additionally do not equate the energy spent grinding in their original release (The Days of Sunlight towels from last year have no right being that expensive whatsoever.)

Candles (3)

Early 2021, around March the Daily Light “Chevron” was rolled out as a way to farm light without feeling the pressure to grind insanely hard daily (since very many people were asking for a way to get candles more leisurely, since candle running was very time consuming)

It became redundant as the prices for candle items was driven up very far. Not to be so “back in my day” but genuinely the need to candle run extensively in the way we do now wasn’t as big as it is now.

This is funny. Because now I see people asking for the same thing. A faster, less grindy way to candle run.

the first in game event I participated in was the first Days of Bloom, the cherry blossom cape was 70 candles (which to me was VERY expensive at the time). The following year’s wisteria cape cost 105, then the next tulip cape cost 110. The first price driveup was already kind of nuts to me (is the cape really worth a 35 candle mark up to the first one?) It’s hard to even prepare with the aforementioned small event gaps, it’s punishing to newer players and players who’ve skipped events out of burnout without any time to prepare for candles unless you pay real money to get candles quickly.

Assuming an average person clears their chevrons daily (15-17 candles) and heart trades with their friends (-3 for every person traded with) it’s hard to afford everything that comes your way. Travelling spirit prices are near doubling what they used to, items now costing over 100 candles with the inclusion of the batshit expensive nesting shop it really burns people out knowing you can’t afford everything you want in a game you already grind daily in. It’s demanding.

IAP items (4)

Do I even have to talk about this. The Sunlight Chunky sandals cost more than you can buy actual sandals. Why are in game cosmetics costing up to $25 USD. Huh. I could buy a whole meal for that.

Cute little items cost only a dollar before but now they’re like $3 and its kind of bonkers to me. I have to pay $3 whole dollars for a tiny jellyfish on my shoulder. is this not crazy. im not crazy right? dont wanna get deep into this but jesus my wallet

So why do I care so much? (5)

Sky is a game I hold near and dear to my heart. But I notice people including myself have stopped playing for the same, very painful reason. The fact that Sky is very buggy with little to no compensation to players as well as the Economy being so. So very bad. as well as the shithole that was shattering (the hype for that season was so crazy because yay lore!!! no actually Fuck you crab stunlock 100000)

I know people will be “Well you don’t HAVE to buy — item”, but the game’s userbase is driven completely on grinding for new cosmetics. The active playerbase is driven on just candlerunning. The lore is interesting but there’s hardly anything in game to go off of, there’s little to no curiosity for what the game is and it’s story because it gets more and more arbitrary as TGC refuses to talk about it in game. (Jenova Chen saying that games are not an effective storytelling format really pisses me off sorry)

The cycle of fomo that is essentially required to keep the playerbase going just makes me feel like this game is made on popsicle sticks and prayers (thanks aspen for this line). I can’t find myself to love sky in the same way I used to as a moth.

anyways this is really messy. Sorry. but like damn this is kind of a sad thing to me. made this post because a rant on yt got misogynistic in the middle out of nowhere so i wanted to give my own take minus the misogyny

I’m sorry to keep going on about Ashe being treated unfairly by the community but Mordekaiser can have all these lines about “I will rule the world because evil” and people love him and call him a chad. but Ashe has these lines about leadership, praying to her gods, deep stuff, and people lose their shit “Oh, she talks too much, she’s so annoying” I’m just… I don’t know. I’m tired. It happened when Ahri got her VA update, it happened with Nidalee’s, I’m so tired.

On a more positive note, I imagine that all the alternate costumes are in characters Institute of war closets. Just going through outfits “What do I wear today?”

Pack up for another longpost because this is so right and im so tired of systematic sexism in all aspects of League Of Legends including the community. I dont think i have to mention it but just in case, im referring to the toxic male sector, i know not all men are like this, but 99% of men are like this.

I do not deny that there are male champions whose only personality is being hot, or dumb stupid, that only have 5 voice lines that go all way around like a carousel when playing. BUT. The amount of female characters with same characteristics is overwhelming and disgusting and when Riot tries to ''fix it'' either nobody cares, calls it a feminist agenda or just says blaahh blahh woman talking virgin speech.

Rakan, for example, is a great character. He's a charmer, he's good looking and he knows it, he's prepotent, but also very iconic, he always talks about himself in a way that doesnt bother you, he has a glimpse of 'my past wanst good but right now im handsome and im having fun'. Sarah Fortune in a terrible character, she's a woman with a huge childhood trauma in the seek of the man who provoked it but only talks about seducing, seducing for what?! I know there's a comic that adresses this but let me tell you, i dont like it. She's seducing, she's iconic but only because she has a crazy amount of sexual innuendos and THATS it, she gives you this 'ohh im a easy girl but dont provoke me ;)' that is absolutely ridiculous. Veigar has more personality than her and it HURTS goddamn. I refuse to believe that the people who wrote Sarah in Ruined King are somewhat related to her development in League of Legends i completely and utterly REFUSE. She's a terrible character.

Remember Illaoi? Cause i do, WE do. Rest of people? Men??? Boohoohoo she's a muscular woman... thats anti natura, if she was thinner she would be good looking... what the fuck. Shes just a fucking MEME cause someone for once said 'You know what? Maybe lets not do hourglass body type in this one'.

While showering i thought about Lux and Sylas... Look, Lux got a voice update i think a couple of years ago. Shit is recent, and Sylas was THERE already. Can somebody fucking explain to me why Sylas gets to talk all his shit about his lore, and we only have Lux saying 'oooh rainbow shiny!' ? Its infuriating. I know Lux is this positive vibe champion but... she also had it rough you know....? Cant we have a few of those long-movement lore insight lines? You know? Relationship with Demacia itself? Her brother? Sylas??????? Is this asking for too much. Only thing i percieve of Sylas that i dont agree with is that he's your typical shirtless men again sexualizing champions for no fucking reason but mkay i guess they wanted to give him this reckless type of persona. I still dont like it but eh...

Ashe's situation just presents over and over again the fact that being a fucking woman is TOUGH even when you dont fucking exist and you're just a fictional character because nobody gives a flying FUCK about you unless you get pretty skins. If you get too much pretty skins then its the fault of real women players because 'they only play Lux' and everything its so fucking wrong and trust me, things seem isolated or in different contexts but EVERYTHING is conected. A fucking macro company ruled by men that often marketizes of LGTBQ+ community and feminism for literally 1 month or a week then to do NOTHING and never actually standing up to this people. This makes the people working in the company as designers to make characters that either need to have their sexualities covered up so nobody realizes but leaving up hints here and there for someone to pick up but when someone brings it up then Riot blasts a huge: 'NO' and pretend it never happened. Nobody wants to do new designs or new body types cause everytime they do it people mock the characters and never take them seriously, the amount of racist and mocking comments i have read about K'Sante are ABISMAL, Illaoi is a fucking joke nobody takes seriously, Naafiri is great but Riot has the NEED to put eyeliner on a fucking DOG and to give her earrings so she can be identified as a female dog. This only creates a community of fucking creepy males that think they can step on characters they dont like specially the female ones and when someone brings up the terrible decisions Riot made they blast a 'BUT THERE'S MALE CHARACTERS THAT ARE SHIRTLESS' because they dont care about us they only see themselves. NOBODY gives a shit about Briar and its so unnatural how people put so much attention on her feet and the hips and thighs is just so vomitive. This is a whole cycle where a company full of shit creates a bunch of shitholes that hate women and thats what Riot fests on. I dont even care if im overreacting i know what im seeing and i know what i am. Ashe was forced to marry a man just for political power but nobody cares about that cause Mordekaiser is bulky and he's evil so that instantly makes him interesting enough to call the eyes of fucking creeps. You know what shaped league of legends women the best? The fandom, the niche fandom, not the rule 34 fandom that oversexualizes everything. Writers, fanartists, they made a lot of characters what they are now, but sadly, nobody gives a fuck.

Quoting America Ferrera's speach on the Barbie movie cause i believe is fitting to the female characters of the game too:

'(...) But always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that the system is rigged. So find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line.

It's too hard! It's too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.'

Im done. Sorry for long posting. Every day i wake up and i hate being a woman. I think thats what women in League Of Legends lore feel most of the time, if im being honest.

About the happy question :) Yes! And i think Gwen and Elise team up to make the skins... And they have little spider helpers... And champions are like suggesting changes or modifications, it would be so cute! And Lulu can do the chromas changing the colours...

#*throws the script* thats it for today #a lot of people call me a misandrist #not that i care i just find it funny #Ashe we listening and we love u honey
