#this unintentionally turned into a thing

[shadynerdsapphic]

So I’m part of the not drinking coffee group. For me, I actually hated the smell of coffee as a kid, but also all the coffee I smelt was just straight black coffee with no other flavoring or anything. My mom was on the same boat as me for not liking it, except she actually really liked the smell.

Fast forward a few years whenever the Keurig was starting to become more mainstream in everyday households. My dad bought one and introduced my mom to the world of coffee creamers. I was only 11 at the time, so I was still too young to even bother trying to get into it, and combine that with my childhood general distaste for trying new things and especially things that I had already established that I wasn’t going to enjoy, well lets just say it fueled my disinterest in the drink.

Fast forward even further to the summer of when I was 13 and I went cold turkey on sugar. At the time I went off sugar (and am still off it with no plans of not being on it) (and for the record it’s just added sugars. I still eat fruit sugars because the body does need some sugars) there wasn’t really a whole lot of alternatives, so that meant just not getting anything related to that product. Of which what was included in that list was basically every Starbucks coffee that wasn’t just black coffee. And not to mention every creamer my mom was into, had a boat load of sugar in them.

Fast forward to now, the one time I had coffee was to be able to stay awake all night before an overnight flight and I thought it’d be a good idea to stay awake the night before and just sleep on the plane. Good idea, but not in practice since I wasn’t able to actually sleep on the plane. But anyways, I digress. The one cup of coffee I did have made me feel just absolutely awful. I used some of my mom’s creamer (that now comes in sugar free options that she gets) that supposedly was dairy free as well since I’m lactose intolerant. Either the creamer wasn’t actually dairy free and I had been lied to by someone, or I just have absolutely no tolerance to caffeine and that caused some kind of reaction. Whichever one it is, I don’t really care that much since the likelihood of me ever getting really into coffee isn’t very high.

People who drink coffee: why did you start?

I don't drink coffee and I've never wanted to, but that's obviously ~not normal~, so I'm curious why most people do start drinking it.

Me, panicking about breaking the lease: Maybe the mold and air quality problems in the apartment weren’t as bad as I thought they were. Maybe it was all in my head. Maybe I was wrong to listen to my instincts and my body, and—

*panic interrupted by an asthma attack triggered by my picking up an item we had forgotten to decontaminate from the Mold Apartment *

Me: Ah. Nope, fleeing was actually the right choice. Never mind.

Hi! Do you ever send memes to your followers?

Hey there, anon! c: Thank you for reaching out!

It may not look it, but I do send memes when I'm feeling them, yes! (〃￣ω￣〃ゞ My main problem is that I'm weirdly picky about memes...? idk how to describe it, but it goes both for reblogging a meme (which you see I haven't yet – there's your evidence!) and sending in memes. I overthink way too much, which then leads to me not sending things since something didn't "fit the vibe" right.

Furthermore, I've been less active on this dash lately since I'm consumed in another brainrot atm, so most of my activity here in the past month has been hiding in my drafts/inbox replying to current threads rather than starting a lot of new things!

(⌒_⌒;) I do apologize if this has made anyone feel like I'm uninterested. If we're mutuals, then yes, I'm interested. I might just not be super active or hunting down fresh interactions at that given time. 👍

I JUST BROKE MY FAVORITE CHOKER D:

[spotsupstuff]

Read the snippet *cries*

That last writing with Tarrow is beautiful. In my mind was playing Farewell by Bernth and is was a struggle to not cry in public.

I just fell in love with Orion! I love his gentleness, how he just want to give comfort and just AHHHHHH!! That last paragraph just with the hope that Tarrow will see the family that still has is just gets me.

On the side note (and to laugh a little after that beautiful mini story), Crows still is a background character.

OOOOO hey i know that song!!! yeah i can imagine how that'd make it hard to exist in public with some dignity JGDLKJLCMKSL

hah, another Iterator found a way to worm its way into your heart JGKSLLCKMLKS stars, same- the gentleness but also in the contrast of what he's gone through, what that kindness and sweetness had to endure. and he's stern and strict and some would call him a little scary when he talks to them like to some soldiers- promising that if this time around (in the off string au) someone will be caught neglecting their responsibilities like some have done with Mission Self-preservation he will be able to deal with them Personally this time. Notos won't be the only thing they'll have to worry about now. and sometimes he's a little insensitive as a result of that trauma, too. but ultimately? oh gods, ultimately he only wants everyone to be okay and taken care of as they deserve

GSLJKMCKLS fucking Crows.... leave it to the One og character i have in Moon's group to do me a favor and stay as she is meant to be

[narwhalandchill]

ANYWAY now that ive gotten my firefly rant off my chest and on a more positive note about the story overall; i Really liked it!!!! and character-wise specifically the biggest surprise for me in a huge W way was actually acheron??

& given i was actually somewhat committed to pulling her anyway (well. initially as kafka replacement to pull my first lightning carry after losing 50-50 but. Well. she had mercy on me at the v last moment thank goodness 😭😭) so actually ending up liking her character this much just cemented that resolve for good too. cant wait for her!!! like i am still meh on her base design not bc its that bad by itself but simply bc seeles existence just cheapens it so much like. Why are they so similar. but its not bad lmao

anyway to her actual characterization. first of all. the VAs delivery omg yall beidous english voice is already one of my all time favorites in genshin and shes doing an amazing job as acheron like. she started talking and im just INSTANTLY warmed up to her just from that KDJSKDKJK i love love love her attitude and energy!!!!!

n personality wise too??? like ive seen others mention a similar sentiment but its just the way how. even after getting the warnings from now Two separate characters that shes up to no good. im just like. "nah id win" abt it SHSKDKSI like throughout the story she comes off as so damn likeable and grounded and realistically friendly (as in not like. too open n aligned w the player from the get-go to feel believable for the character as opposed to a plot contrivance) that i just. even if shes bad news im team acheron truly.

she has genuinely funny one liners too ??? like not necessarily jokes outright but the kinda comments she says are just . very realistic in that dry witty way that comes off as natural and entertaining shes so charming!!! i love her. the more contemplative stuff she says too

but also like. girl whats up w the ominous red text ily but are we cool 😭😭 and the whole shredding us into thin slices on first encounter in the dreamscape like. Ok uhhhhhhhh ik i said nah id win and team acheron forever but this is kinda. worrisome

BUT that just means im so fucking excited to see her go apeshit too lmao like. oh shes an emanator here to do murder and spread death? COOL i hope she has fun!!

(and ik i said firefly rant over but. what the actual hell is that post firefly merk dialogue option where the games like very heavy handedly implying ur supposed to be blaming ACHERON for "letting it happen" in some emotional frenzy???? bro what 💀💀 0/5 moment i would never. n even if she plausibly did im just. dude her being cold towards firefly is just a plus for me when the narrative has just railroaded the TB into being sooo charmed by her magical presence lmao i Liked that acheron was suspicious n cold)

overall Definitely wasnt expecting acheron to establish herself as such an instant favorite for sure but. shes here now and im v happy abt it im super looking forward to seeing those more dubious goals of her come to the forefront in the future like. im so curious about whats up w her and her memory and that red text and everything

honestly tho one thing that's been on my mind today... is that i think byan may have undiagnosed adhd on top of everything else ���

Oh the interesting thing about writing ITNL is that it's taking a lot of guesswork on my part for what Vash is actually thinking in a lot of these moments. Like, we as readers of the manga are not privy to most of his thoughts. He just kinda Does Shit and we're forced to accept that it happened.

It's like the black box concept. Vash wants to do something -> ????? -> thing is done. We don't see that middle part, a lot of the time. Normal person logistics don't matter for Vash because Vash is not a normal person. He does some Insane Shit and we just have to accept that.

So me writing ITNL, I have to make a lot of inferences based on Vash's general character and what I know about the situations surrounding him. It's a continuous endeavor of filling in that metaphorical black box so that ITNL readers see what Vash is thinking (from my own judgment and perception of him, at least).

And the wonderful thing is that I really can just be like "and then he drops 4 stories down completely unharmed" or "he reads this person's mind and lifts the information from there" etc etc bc it's VASH. We know so little about what plants (especially independent plants) are capable of. So I'm just taking bits of suggested powers and Running With Them. So long as i keep internal consistency, then I can pull the most batshit insane stuff in the name of explaining what exactly is happening inside that black box.

It's fun :'). I enjoy getting to just do whatever tf I want bc Vash is the most ridiculously overpowered character in SUCH a fun way. & it's balanced out by his dedication to harm reduction & attempts to remain covert about not being human, so it doesn't even feel unbalanced, narratively speaking. I Love getting to write him like this.
