ah hello, ive just discovered your tumblr and ive been mostly just browsing ur ak posts and i stumbled across ur oc doc and i just wanted to say that i think youve done a great job with him ! 100% fits in with the ak cast and his relationships with the canon cast are actually like pretty real (bcs they r laterano, hes very laterano i cannot describe im sorry)
i just like shealtiel man, he sounds neat. id probably simp for him if he was playable actually hehe. hed probably be a deadeye sniper like ambriel, i assume ? he sounds quite debuff oriented (like the vibes...) (( i like thinking of kits its fun sorry,, )) anyways i just wanna say he sounds cool. i love the stuff youve written for him and stuff! ps any fun facts youre willing to share...? ppss your work is amazing i really like the mytol stuff youve written they r pathetic sappy old men and i love them for it
Oooh, thank you so much! I really like him and if my hands were better I would be drawing him incessantly LOL.
Yeah, I like thinking of kits too, so don't worry! I've thought about this and you're right on the money. To me, he would be a deadeye sniper focused on debuffs, especially bind- you know, because ropes. Deadeye sniper is actually my personal favorite archetype because I generally love playing as ranged as possible in games when I'm allowed to, and I find sniper gameplay really satisfying even though I'm not very...well....good at it. So it's probably no surprise I made my dearest OC a deadeye sniper.
thank you for the mytol vote of confidence.....as you can see from the URL, they're everything. to me.
shealtielposting to follow:
his favorite flavor of sweet things is cinnamon. i wrote a lot of his lore in my head while eating this cinnamon biscuit on an airplane while moving cross-country for school, and i associate it with him now.
his mother was a canonist. despite his pragmatism, he takes a very flexible approach to the Law of Lateran. rather, he thinks it's not the place of man to ask questions of the law, just to understand its effects on them across their lifetime.
i believe I only mentioned this in passing in his origin fic and it annoys me that I couldn't get it out there more obviously, but he wears hearing aids after the head injury resulting from his fight with andoain. his hearing loss is not complete, but enough that the aids are basically necessary for him to carry on as close to normal as possible.
i came up with his originium arts while playing ratchet and clank rift apart. it's based on the rift tethering platforming in part, at least visually. his arts unit is in his glove/s for this reason.
his wings start going like a hummingbird's when he's especially frustrated or extremely nervous, which is rare because of how subdued he is, but it does happen.
he thinks oren argiolas is annoying and always has considered oren annoying, even before finding out oren is a double crossing little prick who worked with his beloathed enemy.
i don't know exactly when he would join rhodes, if ever. his relationship with fiammetta/mostima/lemuen is not close, and they're more "friends of a friend" in a sense to him. he holds them in esteem, though. the only thing i can see pushing him to join rhodes is if a) andoain somehow did or b) rhodes started going after andoain. in the former, he hopes to get his wish for an obsessive revenge. in the latter, an aligning of goals just makes it good business.

hello!!
I've gotten a lot of new followers in the last few days, I'm assuming because of the twitter exodus and while I imagine most of you are hopping over from following me there, I figured it wouldn't hurt to re-introduce myself to tumblr!
my name is Lauren Shippen and I am a
podcast writer/director/producer
novelist
sometimes voice actor
enormous fangirl
longtime tumblr user
my writing usually involves
supernatural/speculative elements
found family
queer stories
imperfect characters who you hopefully still love
stuff that may want to make you yell at me/get a tattoo/write fanfic/draw fanart
when I say I'm a longtime tumblr user, I mean it. I first joined the site in '09 (I recently found my first post, which is still up on my first blog which was about me moving from Blogspot. boy, that sure was 15 years ago, huh?) and have had *counts on fingers....runs out of fingers* a lot of blogs on here. this is my main front-facing tumblr, along with:
@dashboarddiaries (a podcast I do with @overchers all about tumblr!)
@breakerwhiskey (a daily microfiction podcast about shouting into the void at the end of the world and hoping it shouts back)
@thebrightsessions (an audio drama about ppl with supernatural abilities in therapy, I've reblogged a LOT of fanart for it on this blog)
@chambersandfogg (a yearly fiction podcast (with monthly posts!) about two rival magicians who discover they're both immortal. the slowest of slow burns)
@maxinemilespod (my choose your own ending YA mystery! not terribly active at the mo, but hopefully will be if/when we do S2)
@bridgewaterpodcast (my spooky podcast I do with thee Misha Collins and thee Aaron Mahnke - again, not active at the mo, but there's lots of great fanart and yes, I'm the one answering asks over there and probably one of the few folks with the login info lol)
I'm going to try to more consistent on here - maybe not as much as I am on my personal (guys, I spend a lot of time on tumblr), but certainly more than I do on twitter. okay. this post has gotten too long. happy we're all here!
some links:
find stuff
faq
and here, have some playlists.

aww i’m so happy to hear you like the ideas! <3 i base many off decade old oc’s or old writing prompts xD yes, i think there’s something so beautiful in empowering innocence, which the reader could portray. for example, the color white can be both pure but represent an never-ending unfulfilled void - like she [reader character], although ethereal in some qualities, is decidedly devilish in others (represents a void of a conscious, which is just like james, &
(replying to this in parts)
imo would even freak him out seeing someone outsmarted him at his own game, though through innocence and religion); and that the dark can be terrifying but also the complete absorption of visible light- purity, clarity in itself, and aims at disasembling “the evil” in the world (maybe for her), which is rooted in the pursuit of the ultimate love (pursuit of going back to a sort of “garden of eden” where nothing could ever go wrong). i see [reader character] as someone who would be comfortable just being james princess, but could unknowingly push herself over the countess as queen if she wanted to through this pure, but unconscious void in her conscious. (Midsommar May queen inspiration there~)
omg this concept is genius! this would for real be such an interesting thing to see play out, and to see the power behind innocence! also the fine line between what seems innocent, what is innocent, and what is “evil” is so interesting. there is so much depth there!
i have absolute confidence that you’ll be able to write up something amazing, regardless of how long it takes! don’t ever pressure or rush yourself babe! self-care and living life is the most important, but its my wishes that if you ever need a little alone time or break from school/work, you can have something creative like these ideas, to work with, back here! i would love to see this idea come to life one day, and you’re defo the best writer in tumblrtown hehe :)
thank you so much for saying this. seriously. often times it feels like i’m in a rush with my writing, which is part of the reason that i stopped as it was becoming less enjoyable and more of a chore, which i definitely don’t want to happen, as it is one of my biggest passions. thank you for being so flexible. 🤍
also another message to let you know you aren’t alone in terms of feeling like you had a couple down days/ dark phase mentally and emotionally. 2020 or late 2019 came and, i too had my dark times mentally which exhausted me physically. and im so so happy to hear you feel like you’re starting down the road to love, as love is the best thing there is! i hope u decide to give it a chance, even if it seems daunting in any way or for whatever reason. <3
if anything, i wanted to extend love in this message, as a warm hug, or a hand to hold in times of need, or just a pillar of support for a little while. i know dark times are never fun (they seem so out of the blue too), but they’re also a great opportunity to grow after the storm has passed. if you want just an ear, or advice, or a place to rant, i will always try my best to support, promise! bc you deserve the best love- the type of love you always try to extend to others, creatively in your writing, or just in everyday real life interactions.
unfortunately there are so many that have had dark times during this pandemic. i feel that the world has been in such a state of anxiety that has pushed many to their limits. i just pray that we can all make it out stronger. and i completely agree with you on that note! i’ve grown so much as a person in the last six months, let alone year. it’s been a journey and i feel stronger and more determined every day. i just hope that you are feeling the same! your love has really hit home for me. this message was recieved at perfect timing and i just want to send the love back your way, as you are so incredibly helping me. thank you again.
don’t forget about that little light within, to nurture it, and never stop shining it for anyone or thing. bc in the end we aren’t our minds, but the thing behind it, we r that lil light. i fully 110% support you so much in focusing on yourself and striving to better you FOR YOU, step by step, because everyone is on that journey in one way or another. it’s healthy always to be a little inactive ;) ~ and you’re living life to the fullest, you gorgeous soul!! you are not alone, and don’t apologize for taking up space and time!! you are worthy beautiful. so, so worthy! sending you so much love and light this winter season! ❤️👼🏼🍪☁️🌟 (i am gravely sorry for my amount of spam. i like, dont know how to send msgs with no word limit on tumblr!! )😂😅
don’t apologize for the spam! this message was so beautiful and sweet that i just wanna find you and give you a big big hug! 😂♥️ seriously though, thanks darling. you have no idea how grounded this makes me feel. the connection we receive with others in life is truly the best thing, and finding another soul that is kindred with yours is truly incredible! i completely agree with everything you said. we are all on our own journeys, all growing and learning together, although a lot of us need to learn to appreciate that and one another. thank you for the validation. always message me if you want to share anything at all! these messages were so thoughtful and wonderful! sending you peace and love 😌 i wish you a happy holidays if you celebrate, and if not (and regardless) i wish you to be happy everyday! you truly are such a kind and beautiful soul! stay creative darling 🤍🌙

1/8 so I watched lots of Dos fancams/dance practice/videos etc and I just want to say, Do improved A LOT in his dancing. He’s not stiff anymore, more flexible as well and he practically oozes charisma and elegance. So toast to that. His hands are still quite stiff (superhuman was really good, idk why his hands are stiff again) looks like he always gets frostbite and doesn’t want to move his hand/fingers bc it hurts haha, maybe Yuta can help him (dance drips out of Yutas hands).
Do has an insane amount of control and awareness of his legs, it’s so fascinating to watch. Not only that, he’s also so light on his steps and it brings out such an elegance and softness. He doesn’t have that much control over his upper body and sometimes it’s noticeable but for some reason he’s got control over his shoulders and arms. A very strong middle point as well, he aligns his shoulders and arms and legs beautifully (similar to WW) and it makes me wonder if he ever took ballet class. Honestly his dancing fits to his personality, kinda. Perfectionist.
he’s one of the members where his shoulders are straight and his arms go straight as well, they’re on a perfect line. Where else other members have their arms a little too high/low. He also tends to straighten out his arms, others don’t really. And I think that’s really beautiful and shows the elegance, almost like a ballerina dancer. In b on b, where JS is center, Do is right next to him and it really shows how beautifully he can straighten out his arms and align them. It makes him look endless tbh. 
back to his legs, he’s very strong in his legs. And very fast and light. That’s why he’s really good in changing his positions. It’s like he’s walking on clouds. But for some reason, he tends to get overwhelmed/tired when a choreo is really fast. Which he really doesn’t have to, because he manages to hit every single beat and stay in beat with the members and he proved that in the 2x speed dances. 
So I think he should stop overthinking that the song is too fast and that he won’t keep up, because then he does loose focus and he gets slower. For example the 7th sense is an extreme hard choreo but it’s slow and Do literally does amazing in that. but I also noticed in some moves Do is hesitant. At first I thought “hmm maybe he lacks flexibility or core muscle” but I scratched that out bc he’s a dancer+vocalist so he has extremely good core strength. He’s scared to lean back (boss I.e) and in other moves he’s also hesitant, but honestly he really doesn’t have to be, bc he does great anyways. I also noticed that his hips/pelvis go forward while his stomach goes in (bad posture) but he uses it as his advantage. Moves like hip thrusts, body waves etc are literally his bitch. So I’m glad he uses his bad posture as his advantage in dancing, bc that’s really smart.
Do has very good balance. And I think it’s his legs (calf monster hehe) but he also uses the middle of his body as balance, mostly his legs tho. Which is good for him, bc it’s easier to control your body and balance but could also make your toes hurt (did he ever mention that his toes rub against his shoes in certain dance moves, especially heartbreaker?). When it was raining (b on b) he barely slipped, but you could see how his legs were practically glued to the ground and he was being very careful, he also worried a lot about the other members. So he knows his strength is in his legs and that in circumstances like rain, he has to be careful. He did really good tho. 
honestly I could go on about Do’s dancing but tumblr says no. Do is a soft, elegant dancer, he hits the beats and moves but very smooth and soft. He’s better when choreos are slow. He’s also really good in popping (similar to JS) but also has traits like a ballerina in him (similar to WW) so in some dances he kinda goes down. But other dances (regular, chain is wow (Jaedo never fail to amuse me in regular)) he blooms. 
Do is an amazing dancer, he also remembers his positions well (muscle memory, lots of training+good at remembering things). He’s extremely hardworking when it comes to his dancing and I really appreciate that. I wish we can get more choreos that are fitting to his dancing style so he can take over the world. 8/8 also I wanted to point out in the 24h relay cam where they choose the times, you can really see Dos balance. When he had the knee fight with yuta,he literally stayed so well on the ground and even managed to attack yuta, continuously without a slight waver in posture. The reason why he fell down, was because he moved his knees a little further away from his body than usual, which made him fall straight down. He lost the balance point he had over his body. Don’t overestimate yourself! 
--------------------
I appreciate you taking time and watching so many fancams! 
- Yeah, Do’s stiff hands is the first thing that jumps at me. Seems like he just “forgets” about them, because when he pays attention he bends fingers and does jazzy hands just fine. As if the command “move the upper limb” doesn’t reach the tips of the fingers and ends at the elbow or wrist.
- As you say, Yuta always accentuates gestures with his fingers and flicks of the wrists. It’s his signature.
- Legs. Agree! All that muscles in shins and thighs. Perhaps, mother’s genes, who was a runner. Well, he did track and field in his formative years too, but we don’t know for how long and how seriously to give him a foundation.
- Do would mention if he ever took dancing classes prior to SM. He is not a fun of the art, so I doubt it very much. Heh, but when I first watched Boss dancing practice, I had the same suspicion. Only because of the way he makes steps.
-  Hm, you think he has control over shoulders? To me it looks like he forgets about upper part half the time. Unless the move requires it, he doesn’t involve the torso on his own volition.
- I’ve noticed Do often looks at others to match synchronisation. Which is strange, considering he should have a very good sense of rythm being a soloist. And he is late a little bit quite often too. Maybe when he gets tired, I dind’t check for that. Or overthinks, as you say. I do think that he hinders his own skill by thinking he is not good with dancing. He doesn’t relax and trust the body fully.
- Yep! Noone does Chain hip thrusts like Doyoung. His bitch indeed.
- I don’t remember him ever talking about dancing in detail. Just general “I’m winded after 4 dances” and “I memorise choreo quickly”.  
SM doesn’t care much about main singers’ dancing skills. (At least in the past) it even discouraged vocalists wanting to attend additional dancing classes. One of EXO members mentioned it. During trainee times Do practiced like mad, because there was uncertainty about the debut and rivarly with other trainees. And now, I suppose, he keep up because of his perfectionism and to not let down the team. But not for himself. It’be nice if there was a trainer who told him he is good and should not worry. Doyoung wanted to win golden medals in archery because their coach put so much effort in teaching them

Hi Aeraaa. Sorry it took me long to replay, but I’m glad that I finally can do it =) I just hope tumblr won’t delay my asks further more. I get why you would expect me to major in humanities, actually there’s an area in finance called behavioral finance, and I find it one of the most interesting areas in finance, I guess we can see a pattern in here hehe. What you said about ur major and what do you like about it seems really great, and the flexibility is indeed an advantage. 1
Maybe it doesn't seems like it but I understand the hassle you mentioned. Especially with the older people. B4 I major in finance, I was planning to major in MIS which is a new course in my country. I would then get a similar reaction to the one you mentioned since it isn’t accounting or finance lol. Even though these reactions can be discouraging, it isn’t really important, what’s important is that we’re comfortable with our choices, and I’m glad for that =) but yeah, i kinda get it
And Sure, I can tell you more about what I remember about the two courses. For business communication it was more about how to use the best practices in communicating with other within the organization, like how to get your message delivered, for the sake of getting the best possible result for yourself or for the sake of the organization. Things I remember about this course were like how to make and deliver a good presentations. How to right emails and good resumes. Attitudes and body language
and stuff like that. THH reminded me of a lot from that course :D. It was relatively an easy course but important and effective nonetheless. I took this course two years ago and I kinda wish if I took it like last semester cuz I think I’ll be able to remember better how to write a good resumes lol since I’m graduating this semester. Organizational behavior course was more interesting, it was about applying psychology in understanding the behaviors of personnel so one can manage them better.
The most interesting lecture that I still remember from this course was about many kinds of human bias and how it can affect the process of decision making. People can think that they’ll be able to notice these biases and tendencies easily but the reality says otherwise. That’s what I find is interesting the most. I really like what you said here. “ I think the world actually heavily relies on stories” and I think I agree with that. :)
You’re most welcome dear aera =) I don’t know how I did that but I’m glad for sure that my words made you happy and reached your heart. This’s great and it feels satisfying =). I’ll be back again to write about my thoughts on My time pt.2 after I read it! I’m excited. & Maybe I’m late but all the luck with your projects and finals dear, fighting!
Aseel!!!! Sorry this took so long!!! I got caught up with finals drain and writing slump and writing! But anyway, here I am!!!
OMOMOMO you're finally off-anon! Can I tag you now whenever I get tagged in fun tag games? I wanna know more about you!
I never heard of Behavioral Finance before. I used to think Finance is everything about money and budgeting and practicality and business. I didn't know there's an area like that.  I just searched it now and it's about the influence of psychology on investors and financial analysts 🤯  That sounds do interesting!!!! I just recalled that someone uploaded their books in their Psychology major to our uni's online library and rn I'm studying Forensic Psychology! Since I'm currently in the psych area, I think I'm gonna look into Behavioral Finance, too!
Oohhh MIS? Like Management Information Systems? (Had to Google it zjsjksks) That actually sounds so interesting! And yeah, people's - especially older generation's - opinions on what you do can be quite discouraging. But you're right. It doesn't matter as long as we're happy in what we're doing! Talk all they want how sciencey courses are better than humanities, I'll just flip my hair and study how most human communication goes downhill 💁🏻‍♀️  skskks. 
OMYGOD Business communication is like essentially my course! Were being tsught how to say things more correctly in preswntations, speeches, arguments, in whatever setting but it tends to usually focus on business (since a lot of organizations run in a business manner). One of my majors even focused on training us how to handle crisis in organizations and we were made to attend a "How to Properly Craft E-mails 101" class. It's amazing and funny at the same time. Amazing bc omygod after that class, I was making really convincing emails that helps me get what I want from my classmates (for class works) and from my profs whenever I have inquiries. Lmao bc of this class, I got more thick-skinned in facing profs and asking them what the hell do they mean in their vague instructions. Of course not literally this way, but this is the mood HAHAHAHAHAH. After that class, I made a joke that my future job is decided: an e-mail-er. Yep, yep. Corny joke. I'll see myself out 🤣🤣🤣
 I'm glad you were able to remember business comm in THH. I did a lot of research in how offices function and I had a personal experience in entering one and I hope I was able to translate them well into writing. So knowing you remember a course about it, just makes me feel warm and utterly satisfied 🥺🥺🥺
Oh and you're graduating! Advance congratulations!  🎉🎊👏 I think there will be more opportunities to learn more about writing resumes so don't lose hope! You're still young! (And with the quarantine I think there'll be more online classes about it too!)
And yes!!! Organizational behavior is hella interesting! You're right! People like to disdain bias. They herald unbiased reporting, unbiased essay, unbiased judging (in contests), and etc. When bias is inherently ingrained in humans as it is inevitable to have preferences. And bc they are inherent, it's harder to identify them. Just like how people find it hard to explain why they became the way they were now bc it's difficult to pinpoint something muddled in the surroundings that have long immersed them. I don't think this makes sense but you get what I mean? 
Apart from comm, our course usually focuses on the psychology behind comm so we also get to study about behaviors as well and goddamn I was able to better understand people after I learned about it! 
Oh hon, you don't know how far your words affect me. But the answer is simple. You just motivate me with these kind feedbacks. And you craft your feedbacks with such thought and dedication and sincerity that it just makes my heart explode bc how?? Did?? I?? Manage?? To have you as my reader?? It astounds me in so many levels. You're clearly so smart!  And I'll forever be privileged and happy to having met you (even in just online!) It's a joy to talk with you! I always have fun whenever we exchange long chains of messages! It's okay! Don't pressure yourself to read my works ASAP. We all live lives apart from this site. Just know I'll always be here whenever you wanna talk about just - whatever! Thank you for wishing me luck, Aseel! I really need lots of them bc I got tons of projects ahead (in life in general but also in my writings here 😉). Thank you so much Aseel for brightening my day! Hope you're doing okay! Here's some hearts! (/ ° O °)/ 💕💕💕

FE echoes or 5d's for the meme?
how about both?
FE Echoes
Popular Opinion
The art and general aesthetic is amazing, I love Hidari’s style, it’s very elegant, the OST is also great, Heritors of Arcadia stands out for coming with little warning in the credits yet really capturing the bittersweet tone of the ending (and the meta connection of Silque’s VA singing it only adds to the feels)
Unpopular Opinion
For the most part I love the gameplay, part of the appeal is that it is something fresh and weird in comparison to the rest of the series, so I understand it not being appealing, but just so many elements clicked for me, magic costing hp balanced out in that you could depend on items like the blessed ring and nosferatu to help make it a fun risk-reward sort of game, clerics with shields are especially fun as they can make semi-tanks who self-heal, the range of archers made up for any difficulties I had with accuracy and it is just nice to have more flexibility with positioning them, same goes for mages with increased range
I don’t know a lot about map design, so i won’t contest the complaints about it (and on my second playthrough I’ve noticed more repeating and all) but that hasn’t outweighed my love for turning my squishy units into cold blood killers
Share a song that makes me think of the series/a certain character
The Violence by Rise Against really captures the conflict between men and gods, how both Duma and Mila have failed Rigel and Zofia specifically and so much of the different conflicts are about humans trying to surpass and overcome the systems they left behind and both failing and succeeding in different ways
Ramble on about OTPs/characters that make me giddy and/or rage
I’m a hoe for celicalm bc they’re both adorable and love each other but you can play with cool and angsty ideas surrounding being the children of fate and kinda how tragedy almost seems to be unavoidable
but 99% of the canon couples in echoes are adorable: 
Clive/Mathilda are like always like seconds away from making out and Clive worshipping the Valkyrie goddess Mathilda is, is such good shit
Tatiana/Zeke have that same constant heart eyes though while less pda-ish they are still very in love and good
Mae/Boey are a great arguing pair bc at the end of the day it is obvious they care about each other and are best friends, also their ending is A+++ with going home and having tons of kids
Gray/Clair kinda tread cliche ground but I still enjoy their dynamic and Gray for all his faults is truly into her and cares about her as a person
just like while fandom is fun to ship crazy ships and come up with all the thousands of ways they could get together, just getting to see couples be couples is something I love as romantic material often leave out that one detail
gotta say tho the only canon couple I could not get behind was Berkut/Rinea, I don’t want to shame others for liking it but I really can’t believe he would hurt her like that if he loved her, FE plays with the the trope of loved ones being forced to fight/kill each other (it happens with Alm and Celica not long after these two) but even if he was tempted by Duma and having a breakdown over losing his birthright, he still made the conscious choice to sacrifice his girlfriend for his selfish gain, those are explanations for why, not excuses, regardless of your thoughts on the ship we have to accept the straight canon facts because I don’t like seeing literal abuse rhetoric trying to explain away the damage and pin the blame on anyone other than Berkut
besides that big elephant in the room, they never had super romantic scenes until after they died, and I might have been able to enjoy the tragedy if I was at all invested, and so I can still enjoy works for it by the fandom, especially the darker stuff, but I can’t help but side-eye too fluffy stuff
5ds
Popular Opinion
Yusei can be a pretty reactive character and seem too perfect so I went in a bit hesitant about him but alas even I was unable to keep from falling for his charms, I don’t want to deliver a critique of s2 just yet as I am still in the middle of it, but in S1 Yusei can get away with being more reactive and not losing really bc holy shit is the world set on making him suffer, he’s a great underdog who just wants to take care of the ppl he loves and do the right thing, especially with how ensemble-like S1 is he is perfectly serviceable as a protagonist and just a really likable guy
Unpopular Opinion
5ds is simultaneously overhyped and undeappreciated
Like often ppl who don’t like the spinoffs will say that DM and 5Ds are the only YGO’s that matter and regardless of your feelings on each individual installment that’s just a shitty attitude to deal with
But at the same time, 5Ds’ fandom is like the least active, at least here on tumblr, I see more content for even GX, which is also a spinoff and older, like even before I got back into it was really sad to see fandom events where each installment was represented except for 5ds
And when it gets mentioned at all it is the same old beats glorifying/trashing it, like it making card games on motorcycles cool, s2 being horrible, being the “darkest and most mature” ygo (which is arguable and not as important as presumed), Aki’s the greatest, Aki was ruined and irredeemable, Dark signers is the peak of ygo, WCP was horrible and drawn out
I agree with statements on both sides but man I am just so tired of the same discussions and I wish there was more appreciation for just what we got and general love for the characters and all
Share a song that makes me think of the series/a certain character
People Like Us by Kelly Clarkson is a good signers song, especially with the fire motif
Ramble on about OTPs/characters that make me giddy and/or rage
Scoopshipping gets its own mid-season romcom and is so good and canon and while I understand why they retcon it, my heart is still broken
Faithshipping is also good and pure and I think you can have a discussion about Aki’s mistreatment without pinning the ship as irredeemable 
Feeding into that, Aki is still an amazing and iconic female lead, I do have criticisms of her treatment but man I want to celebrate her as much as we mourn those choices
I really can’t see the Yusei/Jack/Crow trio as romantic in any combination, they feel like brothers, the closest I can get is some lowkey onesided feelings Crow might have had for Yusei, but all in all they feel like family
Also we got good f/f content with Misty/Carly and Sherry/Aki
Kiryu is Yusei’s ex and you can’t convince me otherwise

                                    Summer Break Ideas
I collected several ideas to keep you busy during the summer break. There are many similar posts floating around tumblr rn so I tried my best to make some unique and fun ones.
1. Lettering. It’s a very popular and pretty type of calligraphy now. You can use special brush pens for it or you can practice some faux calligraphy which looks the same but needs fewer props. 
Full brush calligraphy guide with free printables
More brush calligraphy 
Quick faux calligraphy tutorial
More faux calligraphy with free printables 
2.  Improve your handwriting. Prepare yourself for the new semester and improve your handwriting skills to make your future notes looking even better. 
emmastudies Improve your handwriting masterpost
and her worksheets
3. Volunteering. It’s not only great for your community and soul but it’s gonna look good on your resume as well. Ideas for volunteering:
local churches
homeless shelters 
animal shelters
nursing homes
This where I usually volunteer. You can just call your local places and ask them do they offer some volunteering opportunities. 
4. Start preparing for you college application if you graduate in a year. 
Check what colleges you want to apply to
Check what are their requirements 
They might require an essay or resume or whatever but you can be ahead of everyone and do activities like volunteering that they require in advance.
5. Start preparing for grad school if you graduate in a year
Same as the previous one. Every uni is different so you can work on each application and complete grad exams, essays, resume, or whatever in advance.
6. Redecorate your room 
Repaint your walls or just one wall as an accent
Change curtains or sheets
Move your furniture around
Hang some fairy lights (they change everything!)
Print some new pictures and create a mood board
Adopt some plants
7. Learn how to take good pictures and practice
Check out this YouTube channel. They have amazing tips to upscale your photography skills even if you’re a beginner. 
8.  Start working out. Don’t tell me that you don’t need to be fit or you don’t like working out. Everyone should work out at least 3 times a week. It’s extremely beneficial for your health, mood, intellect, self-control, motivation, etc. There’re so many ways that you can work out. I inserted some links to YT channels that I like and use.
Pilates
Yoga
Lifting
Cardio
Callisthenics (it’s some cool stuff check it out)
These are just major examples but they branch out. It’s even better to mix them up. For example, I warm up with pilates or cardio, then do lifting, and then cool down with yoga. I’m starting calisthenics as well. 
Try different things, experiment, and you’ll definitely find something you love. Summer is a great time to become stronger especially that you sit all day in a classroom during school time. This is the first summer in my life that I work out consistently almost every day, and I feel so much stronger, happier, and I’m proud of myself which brings my confidence up. 
9. Grow some herbs on your window sill. It’s a great idea bc you’ll have your own organic garden with fresh herbs. And it’s pretty too.  
10. Walk an hour or more every day. Walking is so so healthy! It has way more benefits than running. Take advantage of your free time and walk. You can listen to music and walk in the park or you can do it on a treadmill in your gym.
11. Visit your relatives you didn’t see a long time. We never have time for that but summer is a great opportunity to refresh old relationships.
12. Improve your flexibility. It’s also beneficial for your health. It’ll reduce risks of injuries. Also, it feels so good and relaxing to stretch.
13. Learn how to play the ukulele. A ukulele is a pretty cheap instrument and as I heard it’s pretty easy to master. You’ll definitely become the coolest friend if you can play the ukulele. That’s something I wanna learn myself so bad bc I love how it sounds.
14. Sell your old belongings. Get rid of your old stuff!
Hopefully, this list was helpful for someone. If you have any other unique ideas, feel free to comment them, and I’ll add them to the list with your name.

Ep. 1 - “I am THE Survivor Chick And I Am Here To Win It All!!” - Susan
Tumblr media
Franco
hehe
Maxyne
I AM FREAKING THE FUCK OUT!!!!! I don't know why I am, it's just another Survivor game but... I have be someone else kind of. So for this game I have to be "Maxyne" and I'm keeping my pronoun flexibility but I'm gonna be pushing the feminine side a bit more. Maxyne is actually my irl sister's middle name so it'll be easy for me to quickly become familiar with that name being used for me. I also know that Tim is gonna be in this game but idk who and I sure as hell don't wanna find out. Tim actually told me to apply cause they said that they were applying to but my dumbass did NOT know this was an alias game so now I'm fumbling around in the dark trying get into costume n shit not knowing what to do or what to expect. The only thing I have to cling onto my knowledge of Survivor ORGs and Jay's style of hosting. Which honestly don't do me well cause I haven't played Survivor in... months and I haven't been tuned into a Jay game in months too so I have no idea the ride I'm in for. One thing I did do is scroll through the rules, cause my experience always tells me that whenever there's a tumblr blog for an ORG, there's always something hidden somewhere there. Lo and behold, I was right so come 9 PM tonight I will be camping on the rules page updating and waiting for a clue, or someway to start my search. Cause every Survivor game i've played, the idol is found in less then 5 minutes and by the way I've formulated a thought about the idol, it's already long gone. So hopefully, I can pull a Merida and change my fate. Also there was a mention of One World rounds happening in this game??? UMMMM WTF??? PLEASE LET THAT BE A ONE TIME THING. Anyways, sorry for the word vomit, I usually have a lot of pre game jitters and thoughts so I figured I'd get a jump on my confessional count and start talking now. Let's hope I can pull through for this game and make it far. Or vote me out first, i'd rather not have responsibilities right now. 
Rain
I’m looking forward to this. I’m looking forward to people not remembering who I am. I’ve been out of this a year now, I’m well and ready to get first boot, but I’m curious to see how a better, matured me will play. Probably badly, let’s be fuckin real. Anyway I’ll check back in toward the middle of this round. We’ll see how all my sockpuppet counterparts compare against my impossible standards.
Maxyne
5 minutes before the game starts and mama we. Are. SCARED.
Elle
This time around I am going to go for a peppy, happy-go-lucky girl. Not all of my tribe mates are online atm which majorly sucks! Plus, not everyone has me added. I am going to wait till people add me before I add them. I'll give it the night into the morning for that to happen. Otherwise, I'll slowly add them one-by-one. I want to do the slide puzzles because I know I am good at them. I'm going for a more hands-off approach when it comes to socializing so I need all the time I can get to set myself up in the tribe. If we can win the challenge then it'll be a great opportunity to really bond with my tribe mates. 
Maxyne, Fae, and Erick seem to be the most active atm with Fae being the most social. I'll observe how far that socializing and activity goes on. It can either work to my benefit or I need to get rid of the ASAP.
Frank
Wanna start by saying that having a round button in this form is the smartest thing I’ve ever seen. Now onto my confessional: this tribe is alright, some people haven’t spoken yet I think and people seem nice and cooperative thus far. I’m so nosy so not knowing who everyone is is going to be a struggle for me. But I’m guessing Maynor is Gregg on the other tribe bc of the Sophie icon, but watch me be wrong. I’ll try to keep confessionals interesting, but then again I lie sometimes so womp. 
Worm
So I am an hour into my first alias game and I’m already stressing the fuck out. I am so used to being able to go on call with people and get to know them. I wanna say one of my greatest strength is getting solid reads on people when I talk to them but that is only when I can go on call with them. This whole thing is gonna be a struggle
Fae
well we are an hour into this game and I have already fucked up my story. Guess I'm moving home now because I didn't think anything through. dear god. Why am I like this? guess moving my grandmother is going to turn into Me moving home lol. welp, lets see how this goes. 
Maxyne
*googles How to stop oversharing*
Michele
Franco is a king we stan. Also I’m still laughing at worms name
Rain
Michele: Chosen one, will betray at f5
Susan: OTTN5 
Worm: oh, worm? 
Gregg: Dylan in disguise, watch me betray him again 
Uhhh I’ll be back with the rest eventually first night is horrid
Idol hunt: OTTNNNNNNN10
Dusty
So far im feeling good on my tribe! I'm getting along really well with Erick! We have a lot in common and match each others energy. I'm also talking well with Fae, who says they think we've played a game together!! So I'm trying to figure out who it might be! I'm a little worried about the people who haven't spoken yet, but hopefully I'll be able to get to know them!
Elle
I think I'm connecting well with Maxyne. Since we are both doing the same assignment, it allows for me to grow closer with them. I think I might make them my ride-or-die, but I want to see how well our connection lasts in the days to come. Van and I are making great conversation in the tribe chat. I hope they will want to work with me. Other than that, I have not chatted with anyone else on the tribe. The people who have contacted me I talk to sporadically. I hope this is enough to get me by as I do not want to be seen as a social threat later down the line. Also, like, why did so many people get a disadvantage? I am so disappointed in all of them, but I know we can pull through!
lenny
off to an interesting start! so far, I am enjoying my tribe. definitely more chill than my last one but only time will tell. people's true motives will come out soon and this time, I am trying to really pay attention to who is a leader and who is a follower.
Franco
Nera tribe has such good positive energies? There hasn't been any friction, everyone is joking with each other, and overall everyone is having a great time!! Very honestly though I'm not sure what to make of everyone in a game and strategic sense. I've tried talking game with the majority of the tribe but most of it was still just like small talk and vague sentences. Im tryna play this fast and hard but I don't think anyone else is ):   I vibe really well with Michele, Eliza, and Rain. Michele and Rain are so fun and probably down to get messy, so they'd be great allies. And eliza just seems like a genuinely good person that I think I would get along with really nicely!! I also REALLY want this reward challenge. Ive gotten three people at least who said that they would vote for me so!! Let's hope I win, at the very least itd be nice to prove to myself that I can have a good social game early on
Franco
On my very FIRST idol hunt of the SEASON I find?? A legacy advantage??? Im so??? Shook and excited. I just have a feeling that this is my game! Night 1 kinda sets the tone of the whole game and I had an AMAZING night 1. I also uhhh am dumb and told Michele that i found it. My goal was to gain her trust so we could work together but? She kinda just didn't respond and changed the topic. Idk if that's a good sign so yikes!!
Elle
Honestly, I should resign myself to the fate that we will not win the next challenge. So, it is imperative that we win this challenge so that we do not go to tribal two times in a row. I hope my score of 85 is enough because I could not get it any higher than that. I am honestly very frustrated with my tribe at the moment, but I guess we shall see how things develop. Maxyne and Erick getting the advantage is interesting only because it shows who has been the most social. I will either need to get in good with the both of them or take them out early. However, the most active and social people usually do not go home first. For now, I will just keep my eye on the two of them and see how they position themselves. 
Elle
Erick giving the tribe the clue was definitely a strategic move. He wants to build trust and be transparent with everyone in order for them to like him. I see right through it. However, it is nice to get an edge on the hunt. 
Fae
I FOUND THE IDOL!!!! Erick decided to share the clue and I FOUND IT!!!! 
Eliza
dear m’fucking diary...
Hey gays, this is a crack fest. I’m doing this confession rn so that I don’t have to do that fever dream of a puzzle. I got a bat to the face when I did the idol hunt, funnnnn. So, let’s recap! I’ve been connecting with a lot of people so far and that’s great, I love my tribe rn and I’m happy that Franco won the reward considering that I voted for them, so now I can at least get on Franco’s good side an maybe get some info👀. Because this is alias I probably will be playing a tad bit differently but I’m still going to be the social playing badass that y’all know and love! The worst part of this so far is that I can’t fucking say y’all, who the hell says y o u g u y s. I’m changing how I speak just a bit so that I don’t immediately get clocked, so basically I can’t use y’all and lmao in every sentence. The people I feel closest to right now are Franco, Michelle, tristin, rain, and worm. In that order, don’t get me wrong, I love everyone in the tribe, those are just the people I’ve been able to connect with the most. I’d love to move forward with that group but if that doesn’t happen well then whatever, I mean I talk to literally everyone so I’ll survive. Pretending to be interested romantically in men (sorry James Zachary) is horrible, but I think people are at least believing that I’m 20. Jay told me that all I have to do to be an adult is be excited about stupid boring shit, so I’m just gonna pretend that I’m happy about buying a new couch. Well I’ll check back in soon to update y’all about people and probably give an analysis about everyone.  That’s it, much loveeeee
Fae
I just want to say how ironic it is that I decided to do the idol hunt in the challenge and in reality actually found an idol 
Gregg
Well. Im already overwhelmed and literally wanted out. (Jay knows why) But im doing counting challenge and i hope another f4 counting challenge doesnt affect my perfermance for this one. I really want to help the tribe win. Honestly im not gunna bother trying to figure out who is who. Im just gunna play and think the people are the people and play normally. Trying to guess ppl is what gunna mess me up. So wont bother with it but some phrase some ppl have said. I feel like i know who they r.
Franco
I WON FIRST REWARD AHHH. I'm such a social legend? Look at me? I'm literally winning this game. I kinda don't care about the clue because I already have a legacy advantage, AND half of a super idol (that I gotta give to somebody else, booooo), so I'm kinda??? Being chaotic and giving the clue to everyone who voted for me. It can give me an opportunity to gain more trust on the tribe
Tristin
https://youtu.be/Wyi5uWAulnE
Maxyne
I know this is late and it's long but i fell asleep last night while this was uploading, so sorry https://youtu.be/mXmbL49orVI
Elle
Now that I have gotten to talk to everyone I can finally assess my tribe. I feel like I can be great allies with Maxyne. They voted for me in the reward which means we have a mutual good vibe from each other. Hopefully I can make them my ride-or-die. Fae and Van are really nice and I can get down with them. I think if I could choose a strong alliance of three I would pick them while having Maxyne as my real ride-or-die. Sasha seems to be the least social with me which means that they could be an easy target. I don't trust Erick or Cran because they just give me bad vibes. I do not think anything of Frank. They are probably with Sasha as one of the least social in the tribe. At least Sasha is being active within the tribe chat. Finally, I think Dusty is a sweetheart and could possibly be another one of my allies. At the very least, I know I was strong in the challenge and have at least been moderately social. This means I will not be the first boot if we were to go to tribal. 
Dusty
So now we've got an alliance in the works between me, Fae, Erick, and Elle. All in the name of working together to find the idol. I feel good about the group! Me and Erick are both each others closest ally. He won the reward challenge and in doing so he was able to will be half of a super idol! We don't know where the other half might be, but I'm really happy to see that Erick trusted me enough to will me a super idol!
van
So uh...I haven’t been super active because the world is burning around us. But I’m trying. So far I really enjoy the people I’m playing with!
Elle
Dusty asking me to work with Fae and Erick on finding the idol which works out well for me. This means I have already positioned myself into a sort of alliance which I hope will carry me in the future. 
Elle
Fae confirmed with me the alliance that Dusty approached me with. However, there was no chat made. Also, Cranjes was added to the alliance by Erick and Fae which tells me that those those two are very social with him. These people are making their connections to obvious. Either way, with those people I have a 5-person majority. Hopefully these people will carry me through the pre-swap phase of the game, but I am getting pretty nervous in my seat. I do not trust Erick and Cranjes. I like Dusty and Fae, but I cannot get a read on the other two. Plus, if no chat has been made, how are we going to solidify the alliance? Hopefully my performance in the challenge will cover me for now, but I am getting pretty nervous at the moment.
Michele
elfranchele just started! it's an alliance chat with michele, franco, and eliza. excited to see where this goes!!
I can't tell if Susan is just super into her alias or if she really is old with her hubs
Cranjes
everyone seems nice. i guess. idk. i fell off a waterfall and fucked up my ankle for a fucking idol. but if anyone asks, it was sasha. 
i have something against the name sasha bc peppermint should’ve won season 9 of drag race, not sasha velour
Fae
Soooo, there is now a chat for people to hell each other look for the idol. The idol I have...
Frank
YESSSSSSS!!! I’m not gonna be first boot. It’s a party even though I didn’t win my section. Eliza didn’t do their part on the other tribe and that’s a yikes (at least with a 2 hour time exactly that’s what I’m assuming). So like they’re probably going. I’m really happy I don’t have to worry about tribal tomorrow because my sister wants to drink and celebrate her birthday since plans went sour because of that quarantine life. But gamewise though, I want to talk to Erick tomorrow since they seem like someone I could work with, although based on reward I think multiple people think that. Gonna remember that. Gotta be social....but I’m me so it’ll be an uphill battle.
Rain
So, we lost immunity. 
I could have seen that coming - but at least we weren’t totally destroyed. I’m already thinking Susan as a name but uhhh we’ll see where it goes. I’m pretty good with Franco, Michele and Eliza. I wouldn’t be shook if there was an alliance chat made at some point. I like Tristan too! And Gregg. And Lenny. ....okay I like everyone but Susan. Susan I’m sorry I respect your character choice but it ain’t it, chief. 
Gregg
I feel like i might be good for this tribal. Only one name has been said which kinda worries me but im trying to stay positive. Susan is the target tonight and as long as it isnt me. Im okay with voting for whoever. Franco did share the clue with me. It was a simple clue so idk if itll be helpful or not. Im looking at a certain spot and doing all the 4 spots in the section. So hopefully i can find something.
erick
hi i have the eco fascist dream flu and i cannot move but cranjes is john and fae is birch confirmed, i fucked up the challenge but not to the extent that we lost so that’s nice. current alliance going with fae, elle, and dusty (dusty’s my fave). they elected to give me the idol clue and i got half of the super idol so i gave that to dusty as was required and then shared the clue with the group at large because i’m a communist
Worm
So we lost the first immunity challenge. It sucks but I'll get over it. The thing that worries me now is trying to get a read on everyone during the vote. Because I don't know who I'm playing with I'm struggling on getting a read on anyone. On the bright side though I think I'm doing pretty well socially. I've talked to Michele and Tristin and they seem to trust me so I'm happy about that. Also it seems like the tribe has come to a unanimous vote to getting rid of Susan. I feel bad about getting her out but she is firmly holding on to her character which I think is making it difficult for her to make connections with other people in the tribe. The only that has me worried about this whole thing is how easy this vote is going. My anxious head just wonders about how people behind the scenes could be plotting to get me out and I just don't know it. This also isn't helped by the reward challenge and Franco receiving 5 votes to get the clue. A couple votes wouldn't have made me suspicious but 5 just seems like a lot. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but all my anxiety is saying is that there is a majority alliance already formed in the first couple hours of the game and now I'm just playing from the bottom. Hopefully that isn't true but only time will tell.
Susan Burke
I Am SO SO Excited To Be Here!! I am THE Survivor Chick And I Am Here To Win It All!! Everyone So Far Has Been So Kind. I Love These Kids!! However, I Know My Age Will Make Me A Target. They Don't Believe This Ol' Hiney Can Keep Up With Them!! So, I Wanted To Make It Clear That I Am LOYAL To This Tribe And Its People!! When I Was Out Looking For The Idol, I Stumbled Upon The Other Tribe's Camp!! How AWKWARD!! I Decided To Tell Franco - He's Popular, And The First One To Really See SUSAN For SUSAN. Hopefully I Can Buy His Trust, Because He Can Keep This Nanna Safe!! It's Really Unfortunate We Lost...But It Was So Close!! We Won't Lose Again!! I Was Instantly Worried It Would Be Me, But Doing The Challenge With Tristin Bonded Us!! Together, We Decided That Gregg Would Be Our Target, And Now We Gotta Get Everyone ONBOARD!! #TeamSDB
Franco
Im very very sad we have to go to tribal. Like i genuinely enjoy everyone on the tribe!! But it's the way the game goes, every time someone leaves it gets me one place closer to winning hehe. I now have an official alliance with Michele and Eliza and??? We are going to SLAY this game. We all have our individual strengths and I think we could be a powerhouse. Unless Susan has an idol, shes going tonight. Its sad because shes so fun but im not surprised. Everyone else on the tribe seems to have some sort of personal stake or investment in the game besides her. 
Elle
Having immunity means that I can safely bond with my tribemates without the game hovering over our heads. I'm really vibing with everyone in the tribe chat. However, I do not want to go into PMs unless they want to talk to me because it is such a Raffy thing to do to talk to people in PMs. I will try to be as social as possible in the tribe chat to still have those bonds, but I do not want to be seen as some sort of social butterfly.
Tristin
So we LOST the challenge and that sucks!! It appears that the majority of people want to vote out SUSAN and I hate it!! She’s super sweet and the older players always get voted out first! Maybe because she hasn’t been as social as everyone else! At least thats the explanation. I pretty much solidified working with Worm, Franco, and Eliza pretty much. Michele as well I think! But separately of course! I can’t wait for an alliance chat! Sorry to this Susan!!
Sasha
It's strange to be playing in a game where I know there's people playing that I already know but I have no idea who they are. I've talked a little bit to each but not a ton. I don't have too many guesses as to who is who, though. That's it.
