#too much to keep track of

[cryptocism]

One time when I was younger I accidentally sat at an IHOP table right next to a school drama club at like 9pm and was suddenly dragged into their post-show tomfoolery and I feel like that's what Thad experienced tripping and falling into a young justice sleepover

yeah that is exactly the vibe. unwilling recipient of the most inscrutable energy possible. no idea what's a joke and what isn't, everybody's feeding each others absurdity, someone has burst into song

I think I figured out why I struggle to strategise, making full use of the range of my abilities

In a regular DnD game, you have one character. You're completely focused on how you built them — class, subclass, feats, equipment... While the other players are taking their turns, you can spend valuable attention on your character sheet, everything laid out as you scour your options.

In bg3, not only are you trying to manage all 4 characters in your party, you can be trying to design builds and assign equipment, prepared spells, etc. for a dozen different characters you might be swapping in and out of your party, and their builds are changing throughout the game as you level and gain equipment.

When you're already dealing with an interface that doesn't lay out all your equipment enchantments, class abilities, feats, etc. it's just too much to keep track of. You can't reference what the rest of your companions have when you're picking stuff at level up.

I'd love if there were settings to make your companion act as an ally in combat, using their abilities on their own, while you can give full focus to your main character.

Going into dungeon meshi related tags is kinda scary tbh. Last time I was in an active fandom tag was DT17 back in 2021, and I made it my damn business to keep tabs on all the fandom bullshit and drama so nothing caught me off guard (which is a paranoia I've had for as long as I've been in fandom, people never change). But now I'm lurking in a tag for a fandom I wasn't personally there for the rise of, has already had years of backlogued drama, and I'm also just constantly seeing references to shitty behavior on other platforms and I hate it. It's scary and uncomfortable. This is why I've become so antisocial in fandom participation. If a fandom is small or I've been around since the beginning I can at least keep an eye out. But it's been a while since I've been a small fish in the big ocean. Dear God, there's a leviathan down there.

doing chibi is a good design exercise bc it forces u to think on shapes n essential details, essentially thumbnailing ur designs. its also a terrible design exercise bc it ends up looking cute no matter what

Dress me up, make it tight, I'm your dolly You're my doll, rock'n'roll, feel the glamour in pink Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky~

Inspired from This post of @just-dol-headshots and this ask from @hakusins. Don't worry I'm still aiming for your ass Haku-Dean :) References and something under the cut

We all have to agree Bully Robin should have some softer and caring sides. When there's only them two and no one else is around to judge, he can let loose and slip back into that kinda of "Original Robin" we know and I love. I mean, that's what JDOLH made that got me into these swap messes from the beginning jsjkhskjhd you knowww the HUG!!

Reference: Barbie Girl (Aqua) and this cute ecchi Clamp Chobit piece

All in all I'm a pink bietch and Dollya won't be losing her V-card anytime soon that I can promise so hang in there okay mr.Bully.

Danny does not like leaving amity. When he’s not there he is in a stressed and anxious state. He knows he can run to the ghost zone in amity.

Everywhere else. Yea. The government can legally dissect him and he wouldn’t have easy access to safety. So no. No thank you. He will very much not go anywhere else.

Then of course a field trip happens.

Dannys forced to go. Lines like maybe you’ll see an alien. Their hero’s it’s perfectly safe. From the minute he gets there he is beyond stressed and on edge.

Then they go to the watchtower. They were so lucky they got the opportunity (heros definitely not just trying to see what’s up with amity discreetly after finding firewalls blocking info).

He is not discretely hiding it at all. Hovering by doors. Definitely not plotting if he could escape into the vacuum of space. Thinking about all the times the government tried to kill him. The sun wouldn’t kill him right? He could escape to the sun. Or how legally the league would have to turn him in. Like they work with the government. Just pure panic thoughts.

He is absolutely not thinking of every scenario that could happen. Definitely not spiraling the longer they are there.

It’s not like anyone could tell.

Everyone could tell. And with the panic as bad as it was. Well they did have a couple mind readers.

I was reading a footnote to Themistius' Brotherly Love Oration and ended up doing a quick painting of Seleucus II Callinicus while looking all these people up

I'm seeing a really good friend tonight that I haven't seen in a good long while. A couple of years kind of good long while. 50 or more pounds kind of good long while.

And obviously that's hot on its own - people's reaction not just to my size, but to the gain itself. People I see all the time, or have only known me while fat, sure, they'll have noticed my size, but they're not expecting me to be 4 stone lighter whenever they see me.

But this is different. This guy is the fat friend. Ever since I've known him, he's been big. A great shape as well - broad and soft, but with a defined, round gut. For a long time, he's been the fat guy in my head, the guy to get bigger than. He's always been fairly confident with it too - I don't think he's a gainer or whatever, but he's also never made any attempt or shown any desire to lose weight.

And I think I'm heavier than him now. To be specific, I don't know if I'll be visually fatter than him, but I'm a good few inches taller than him and he might have a higher BMI still, a larger waist size, a bigger gut, but I really do think I might outweigh him now. And even then, I'm not actually sure - I am slightly useless at telling how big I am, so maybe I am just unambiguously fatter than him.

And, you know, I do know that nothing is likely to happen - people don't really just come out and point out how fat their mates are. But there is a part of me that wonders if maybe after a few too many drinks he'll struggle to stop himself saying something, or if he'll be a bit more comfortable saying something since he's big too, maybe a joke, maybe some expression of concern or sympathy,

And there's a part of me that... Well. Maybe I can encourage him to say something. Maybe wear a shirt that clings to my gut maybe just slightly too much for polite company, maybe let it ride up a little as we drink, maybe at some point wince and tell him "sorry mate, I've got to undo my jeans", sigh as my gut swells out, maybe complain about how extra large shirts are fitting, about how I needed to buy some 42" waist trousers yesterday, ask him for advice on buying suits as a bigger guy.

I've talked a bit about some other friends' reactions to my gain but I outweigh some of them by over a hundred pounds - what do they know? But this guy, who's always been very noticeably a fat guy, if he acknowledges it, if he thinks I've gotten fat, fatter than him even, that counts for something - I'll officially have gotten fat.

something i find tragic and messed up is how XL's worst trauma and HC's worst trauma are the same event - XL being stabbed 100 times. why that was traumatic for XL is self-explanatory. for HC, witnessing that was so traumatic that it single-handedly turned him into a supreme ghost king. it was the trauma of being powerless, watching his beloved go through hell unable to do a thing to stop it.

this trauma directly parallels HC's original childhood trauma, of being powerless as a child who couldn't defend himself from his bullies and abusers. he hates himself and judges himself very harshly for being "weak" as a child, blaming himself for his own trauma. just see the way he treats e'ming (who i believe represents the emotions of his child self), the way he drew himself in his mural, and the way he treated the statue of hong hong-er in the extras, and you can guess how HC views his child self.

HC's trauma response was to spend 800 years becoming the strongest possible, extremely wealthy and powerful so that he can protect and provide for his beloved the way he never could when he was a human kid or a small ghost. he also wanted to be as strong as possible so that he never has to feel like that "weak" child again. the trauma of powerlessness truly shapes so much of HC's personality
