#yes i love my 3DS yes i take breaks from playing it

[three-dee-ess]

I know it sounds dumb coming from the 3DS blog but it's fine to follow or interact with my blog and not play on your 3DS or not mod it!! or not even own one at all! Yes, I love the 3DS but I spend more time on tumblr than I do playing it. I spend more time playing games on my PC than on my 3DS. I love my 3DS, but I don't always carry it with me, I'll go months without playing it. It's a toy, of course you'll want to take breaks from it! Life also gets in the way from time to time. It's fine. It's okay :3c

desired boyfriend: my success story

there's this guy i like. and guess what? he likes me back: here's my success story and how it happened.

what happened?

i'm specifically not going into details regarding our story, since it's a long one. there were multiple third parties involved, and i managed to manifest each one of them out of my sight. we had chemistry going on even before i decided to conciously manifest, and i only made our love bloom. everything is possible.

what helped me?

i kept on annoying my friends about him (and still do). i told them about how it looked in the 3D. i vented, but i also told them about how our good times looked like, and how i wanted them to look like - i kept this "balance". the best part was they listened and supported me thorough it all. i affirmed a lot. i used subliminals and manifested, made sure to spend time with him and chat. i visualized - us both living together happily, us sharing happy memories, us hanging out. even when i wasn't conciously manifesting, i knew i was still doing that - we manifest all the time, no matter what, and my desire was to be his boyfriend. and so, it worked.

how long did it take?

actually, not so long. it was hard for me to understand at first, but as i learnt more about the 4D and law of assumption, i realized that i'm the only one who controls the outcome.

to sum it up, here are some tips from me:

surround yourself with positive people. yes, this one may seem like something more fitting law of attraction, but having people's support helped me believe in my affirmations more. for me, affirming while having someone i can always come up to about a problem is easier; while having support. remember though that your current situation doesn't matter while manifesting, nor do emotions. this is simply what worked for me. you don't have to constantly affirm. you manifest regardless. i didn't always have time nor energy to conciously affirm. i had my desire in the back of my mind, and i continued to affirm subconciously. you can call it "taking a break" from affirming, but in reality, you affirm all the time; you manifest all the time. just think about what you want and here - you have it already. it's as simple as that. try different methods. there are a lot of different methods of manifesting. each one works and there are no rules to it. you may find it easier to manifest via scripting, and someone else will prefer subliminals. manifesting isn't hard, and the method you choose is only for your comfort. the 3D isn't real. remembering this fact definietely helps while manifesting. sometimes, we don't constantly see our results in the 3D, and that's only because we assume we don't - in short, try thinking about the 3D as your mind playing tricks on you. only you know what's real and what isn't, and whenever you will experience something unwanted, simply don't accept that. "it never happened", change the story to how you want it to go. did you lose your book? actually, you didn't, and you just found it. is there a third party involved? "they don't exist in my reality". is he not the version of him you want? change it then. manifest him to be the perfect boyfriend you could dream of. (of course, it applies to all genders.)

terminology: 3D, 4D, law of attraction, subliminal, affirming, visualizing, scripting *the terminology will be updated with resources.

hey!! I came back to tumblr after a long break. If you don't mind can I ask you something, feel free to answer or maybe not because it is a bit sensitive subject. What are your thoughts about getting back people who have p@ssed away? recently I lost my grandfather and I anyhow want to get him back, i believe i can get him back but there aren't enough people talking abt bringinig back departed souls.

First sorry for your loss. And yes I believe you can decide he’s back too. I've seen some success stories about this and it just opened my mind that we are limitless.

Neville Goddard often emphasized that nothing is impossible. If you truly believe it, and if it aligns with your inner knowing and faith, you can explore manifesting the presence of your loved one again. However, it’s important to reflect on what this desire truly means to you. For many, this longing often stems from love, grief, and the need for closure.

If you want to manifesting this, here are some points to consider:

1. Clarify Your Intention

Ask yourself:

• How do you want your grandfather to return? Physically, spiritually, or as a presence in your life?

• What does having him back mean for you emotionally and spiritually?

Be very clear about your desire and focus on the version of reality where this is already true.

2. Live in the End

Neville Goddard’s method of “living in the end” applies here:

• Visualize: Imagine a specific scene that implies your grandfather is already back with you. For example, see him sitting with you, talking, laughing, or hugging you.

• Feel It: Immerse yourself in the emotions of joy, relief, and love as if it’s happening now. The emotional state is key because it creates the feeling of fulfillment.

Spend time in this state daily, especially before you sleep, as the subconscious is most impressionable then.

3. Affirm

Create affirmations that support your belief, such as:

• “My grandfather is with me now.”

• “I love that we are reunited.”

• “I am so grateful that he is back in my life.”

Repeat these affirmations whenever doubt arises, focusing on their truth.

6. Stay Confident

This requires unwavering faith in your ability to create your reality. If doubts or fears arise, remind yourself of your power and shift your focus back to the state of the wish fulfilled.

Or, you can choose to revise and create a new story.

according to Neville Goddard’s teachings, you can revise his death if you truly believe in your power as the creator of your reality. Revision is one of the most powerful techniques he taught, as it allows you to change events in your past to align with the desired outcome.

1. Choose the New Story

Decide how you want to revise the event. For example:

• Imagine that your grandfather never passed away and is still alive with you.

• Or revise the moment of his passing to a memory of him recovering and staying with you.

Be clear about the version of reality you’re choosing to assume as true.

2. Recreate the Scene

Using Neville’s Revision Technique:

• Close your eyes and go back in your imagination to the moment you learned about his passing or the moment it occurred.

• Replace that memory with a new one. For instance, imagine receiving good news about his health or envision him being alive, healthy, and happy.

Play this new scene in your mind repeatedly until it feels real.

3. Feel It Fully

Feel the emotions you would have felt if the revised version were true. Experience the relief, joy, and love of having him with you. The emotional shift is what imprints the new reality in your subconscious.

4. Persist in the New Assumption

From now on, assume the new version of events is true. Whenever thoughts of his passing arise, gently remind yourself of the revised reality: “He never left. He’s still here.” Persist in this assumption until it feels natural.

5. Trust the Process

The 3D world may take time to reflect your revised reality, but trust that it is aligning with your new assumption. Avoid looking for signs or doubting the process—faith is key.

6. Be Open to Miracles

Manifesting something as profound as revising someone’s death requires deep belief in the infinite possibilities of creation. Neville often emphasized that there are no limits except those we impose on ourselves.

Revision allows you to change how the past affects your present. By persisting in the new story, you can create a reality where your grandfather’s passing never occurred.

No matter what technique you decide on, you must let go of resistance and believe that it is really possible. That is the key.

2024 RECAP

It's that time of the year once again: the end of it. The holiday season is hitting us with its capitalistic drive, cold-ass weather (if applicable), and family love (if applicable)! I'm enjoying my little break from making videos and reflecting on the work I put out in 2024. My video count was much higher than in 2023. But even then, I had a lot more in mind, so much so that I made a cute little MV for patrons in the beginning of the year. Sadly, not everything I considered 'locked in' came to fruition.

But that's okay, because I still came out with some fun videos! The projects I couldn't focus on aren't entirely abandoned, but they'll have to simmer more as I have big plans for 2025. That doesn't necessarily include everything I had in mind for this ending year, but you'll see. With that, let's go over all the videos I managed to create for this channel throughout this year leaving us;

Sonic 3D Retrospective | Onto Adventure

I have begun a retrospective series on Sonic's post-2D era, as I've always had a passing interest in the franchise.

The point of the video:

I used to be a major poser regarding some Sonic games, most notably blindly hating Adventure 1. This gave me a chance to reevaluate and describe why I love it as an adult today. I also found it interesting how vastly different SA1 and 2 are from each other, so I wanted to explore that as well.

Deadly Individualism: Frog Minutes

This was my first ever April Fools video, and it was a lot of fun to make! Thanks to an anonymous individual that made Frog Minutes playable via Android emulator, I got to experience a Grasshopper "gem" of sorts myself! I had a great time goofing on it as well as various comments disparaging my work. They motivate me just as much as the rest!

The point of the video:

I wanted to surprise folks as it was a long-running joke about when I'd make a video analysis on Frog Minutes, so I thought it made for a great gag!

Suda51 interview | Talking about Shadows of the Damned

One of my dreams came true, I got to meet Suda51 and talk to him extensively about his games, mainly Shadows of the Damned! This video pretty much had the entire interview, with added visual context of what we're discussing.

The point of the video:

To live a dream. Suda himself was a very kind man. I also had him sign my copy of Moonlight Syndrome, which he absolutely freaked out about! I don't think anyone has had him sign a copy of that in years, if ever.

I Do NOT Want a Flower, Sun, and Rain Remaster | Prelude Analysis

Originally part of the full analysis where I would go on an early tangent regarding the nature of video game remakes, I figured it was good enough to warrant its own video, rather than be a somewhat random tangent about game remakes in general.

The point of the video:

I realized I'm not a fan of most game remakes, I think just about all are unnecessary and pretty much always provide a downgraded experience of the original. Even regarding Resident Evil 1 (the go-to "what about-" example), I still prefer playing the original above the remake.

3 videos about Dead Rising Deluxe Remastered

Initially, I was merely reacting to the news of the original Dead Rising getting a full-on remake, as I figured people would be curious about my thoughts. To my surprise, Capcom recognized my dedication and reached out to me with early access and a free copy! I had to take the opportunity and provide deeper thoughts of my experience.

The point of the videos:

To properly evaluate what I thought of the remake, things that changed, and things that stayed the same. And, of course, to appease Capcom as they did me a solid. I was more than happy to make these videos!

Flower, Sun, and Rain Analysis | Yes Paradise

Another gigantic analysis video in a game directed by Suda51? Who could have guessed? Unlike my analysis for The Silver Case, this felt less daunting as I found Flower, Sun, and Rain easier to understand. Therefore, I had a great time really dissecting what Suda and the gang were trying to say with it.

The point of the video:

I never gave this game a proper analysis until now. A lot of people think it's just senseless and quirky, but there's actually a lot of great nuance and intrigue. Also, I wanted to describe that its story and structure is eerily close to how No More Heroes 3 was designed and even narrated. Awesome game.

In Here Is a Tragedy | The Silent Hill 2 remake is terrible

Experiencing the Silent Hill 2 remake was both grueling and gratifying. I felt a near infinite amount of vindication, as nearly all of my suspicions were proven right. The Silent Hill 2 remake is anti-art and anti-thought. Just like with The Medium, the developers did not take this harrowing adventure's centerpiece of severe mental health and trauma seriously. They tried selling an arthouse film like a theme park ride, which is all sorts of disgusting.

The point of the video:

I jokingly sent a request for a review code on Silent Hill 2, and Konami was dense enough to send it to me. I felt obligated to make a review at that point.

Shadows of the Damned | Bygone Era of Third Person Shooters

Shadows of the Damned received a proper remaster in 2024, making the game available on all current platforms! I wanted to give my thoughts on the port itself, as well as reflecting on this 2011 classic TPS. Also, the fine folks at NetEase sent me a code to review it, which was kind of them.

The point of the video:

Shadows of the Damned represents this era of TPS games that were more arcadey, faster-paced, and fun. I wanted to reflect on how TPS games don't play like it anymore, and why that might be the case.

Iron Meat Review | Finally, a good Contra game

I was given the opportunity of reviewing Iron Meat, an indie run-n-gun game that's heavily inspired by the Contra series. And, in turn, excels the efforts of current Contra in every single way imaginable.

The point of the video:

Contra is truly dead. Anything official using the name is merely a husk piece of the old game's glory. It's either unrecognizable, or nostalgia-grabbing trite with uninspired design. Retroware has a much better understanding of run-n-gun design than Wayforward, or anyone at Konami. It's sad, but I'm glad the spirit of Contra lives in indie gems such as this!

That's it for now, thank you so much for supporting me! I hope to make more awesome videos in 2025, catch y'all next time, and happy holidays!

[turntableart]

okay hi, this character yes this on, is so far called yellow.rom and he is heavily inspired by kinitopet

I LOVE THAT GAME GO PLAY IT GO PLAY IT RIGHT NOW

ehem anyways :] yellow is my take on that

what you need to know before hand is that yellow is a character I've already made and used for a good chunk of time he's actually an fan made Addison from DELTARUNE and in this lil universe he's in, he's in a computer that belongs to a human version of a pink ad called click, they're human name is clark, go to bright goats page to learn about him I love they're stuff sweet Jesus you have no idea, I have no idea how to link people shit bush help

Anyways!

Yellow was completed in 1999 and managed to get on Clarks computer a little later, he popped up in Clarks emails with a year free trial and theyve been stuck together like glue! They are besties and stuff I love them, before that tho yellow was sat in an old computer at the studio that made him, he was cancelled a week prior to his release so when he caught on that he wouldn't be able to literally be friends with everyone on earth he leaked his own files :3 by request of his creator Thomas Greterson who disappeared later that night, that's when he fell into the spam mail box on Clarks computer :]

thank you to bush for doing rps with me so I can get his story down they love him just as much as me it makes me so happy, they also love Thomas, they love how wet cat he is and how bbg he is

Now what can yellow do as an ai assistant? Well he can do surprisingly a lot! He can do the basics like interact with you personally but he can like uh talk? He uses a tts so you can give him your name and he'll say it!!! What tts does he use uh... I haven't decided yet he's only a few days old give me a break, he can interact with you and tabs he can manipulate stuff and activate stuff like your mic or camera if you let him

He can block you from seeing certain things since he was made for a younger democratic, so no ao3 no corn hub no stuff like that... Unless you turn child mode off which is quite hard to do, you need to actually prove to him that your allowed to use that stuff

yes he can read what you search for and he can see what your looking at you dirty sinner

He can judge you. He will judge you. He is programmed to be your best friend :] and is semi self aware, he's self aware enough to feel panic when technology starts to advance and he's worried he'll become obsolete, he doesn't Clark is a smarty, He's also an anti virus, his way of getting rid of viruses is... Interesting

no were not talking about how he's illegally a virus to he doesn't like to talk about it

Hes actually 3D! Or 2.5D I'm not sure what you call it, I plan on making him a 3d model but that'll take time, But he can spin he is an orb and a pyramid with s t i c k s we love him :3 he also has a text box cause he's nice like that, he adds faces into them like :] :3 :D ya know? He kinda has to when he don't have a mouth, his form can be altered if he let's you, he let's Clark edit it cause they're besties :] so often times yellow is littered with stickers and little additions that Clark as drawn on Microsoft paint, sometimes he draws a mouth on yellow :] speaking of mouths, yellow can edit himself as well in a less permanent way, what he does is open a paint tab and he draws his own features such as mouths and eyes and stuff even though he does have a lot of animations already built in but sometimes he just needs a little change up

So far that's all for yellow :] heres a lil about Thomas his creator! Thomas Greterson is the human name for yellow, cause when he's an Addison hes called turnon. G. Addison :] and in this world he's in his late 30s and has been working on yellow for years, he has two kids Clara and evan with his wife Cathryn, when he quit on the day of yellows cancelation he called his wife and was met with the voice of a man he didn't know, turns out she had been cheating on him for the whole of they're marage and most of they're relationship, you see when yellow would be released there was big talk of him being a company success and Thomas would've gotton a big pay out which is the reason Cathy was with him, hearing that he wouldn't get it just made her file for devoice right they're on the phone since I guess her affair was found out, Thomas hung up the phone and walked to a bar and while later he was stumbling back home and was hit by a truck, he didn't survive and now is currently in the hands of the goddess of light

who is the god version of my friend bush, she adores this sad overworked man I am not joking I also have a god form as well as another friend of mine who isn't on here so I won't give em a name well his character is called add-on who is also in this world as a teacher Clark and him don't get along

Anyway so far that's all I've go :3 I hoped enjoy my little read! I enjoyed writing it and I can't wait to write more when I ad more to this hehee *ad* more hehehe

BY THE WAY PLEASE LET ME TALK ABOUT MY AD OC I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I WANT TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT HIM SO PLEASE ASK ME QUESTIONS I SWEAR I WILL GO FERAL I WANT TO SPREAD THE YELLOW AGENDA PLEASE PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT MY OCS I'M BEGGING

Me : ya can ask for part 2!!

[andresmounts2]

Okay sooo Leighton Murray yap session incoming.

Rambling About How Much I Like Her

For starters, I love Leighton. I love her a little bit too much, but she's so silly & I think she deserves her own ramble post.

I really love the growth she went through over the show. She started off as this really nasty rich girl, and now she's a rich girl who knows & understands that she's privileged.

But I also love the little random scenes of her being a good friend & a good person, especially since she at the beginning she acted like she didn't like the girls. For example, her sneaking Kimberly her credit card so Kimberly's mom wouldn't have to pay for dinner. Or the way she did Kimberly's hormone injections, drove her to the procedure, and took care of her for a bit.

I also love that she's not just 2D, and her interests aren't just stereotypical for someone like her. Yes, she likes shopping & rich girl stuff, but she's also into math. (Which I think is cute, especially how she tries to deny it all the time) And her personality still shines through regardless, like making the professor make a big deal out of her being the highest scorer on that test.

Leighton & Alicia

I feel like these two dorks were a cute couple, but I don't know how I feel about them getting back together. Alicia claims to be this big ally of other queer people & she runs the women's center, but she constantly tried to make Leighton come out. Mind you, Leighton has only started exploring WLW relationships in college. She's known that she's liked girls for a while (she admits this when she's in the doctor's office with Kimberly & she says she was scared she was going to come out to her parents after her wisdom teeth removal) but she never "acted" on it until college.

Leighton has always been perceived as a cishet white rich girl. And one of her biggest fears is that coming out was going to other her & being queer was going to be her only personality trait (to others) instead of Alicia comforting her she basically says either come out or break with me.

I completely understand Alicia's concern about being closeted again, but that was no reason for her to treat Leighton like that after she knew she was Leighton's first real relationship. It blows my mind that Kimberly was a better ally to Leighton & she's not even queer. It was Alicia's right to break up with her, but bare minimum, she could've guided Leighton through this & gave her advice. Or she could've explained that being queer didn't have to be her whole personality & Leighton was still a 3D person despite her sexuality. (But I digress)

Leighton & Tatum

I feel like they were a less toxic couple & Leighton's little crush on her was extremely cute. Like the way she specifically went out of her way to play tennis to try to impress her. And I really like how Tatum treated the whole "coming out situation". She reassured Leighton that they could take it slow & validated her feelings. (Which is what Alicia should've done)

I also like that they chose that as an opportunity to show Leighton's growth. She finally stands up for what she thinks is right, and stands by her friends. I think it could've been a good time to have Tatum grow as a person along side Leighton, but they put her back with Alicia so whatever.

Leighton's Flaws

Leighton is like every other character & real person, she has flaws. She has done stupid stuff, but I feel like that doesn't take away from how much she's changed.

Like the first episode, where she berates her old "friends". Obviously, it was her fault they didn't want to room with her, it could've been nice to have her realize that she was the problem in that situation. Or reflect on it later in the season if she ever randomly bumped into them.

They also could've had a moment where she realized money can't fix everything. (Beside the community center thing, because she literally got a girlfriend out of that) Like she gets into trouble, or she tries to help somebody else get out of trouble & they sit her down & tell her that money can't fix everything in the world.

And the way she handled the disease situation sucked. Yes, whoever gave it to her didn't tell her, but she didn't have to do the same to another innocent girl. She definitely should've taken that girl aside, had an open conversation, and still paid for the meds.

TAG GAME

Thank you @soliscital for the tag

>Were you named after anyone?

- I was named after my grandfather (that's how it usually goes where I'm from anyway).

>When was the last time you cried?

- A couple of days ago.

>Do you have kids?

- I do not have any kids yet.

>What sports have you played/do you play?

-I've played football (soccer) in a team, then I tried basketball but it didn't really click to me and I love going for bicycle rides, even though there aren't any places to go inside the city. I'm not much of a sports guy but I'd love to change that in the future

>Do you use sarcasm?

- I do, but only for fun and with people that are definitely okay with it and would do it back to me.

>First thing you notice about people?

-Their style, their facial structure (I'm breaking it down into easier shapes in my mind) and their hairstyle.

>What is your eye color?

- The default brown.

>Scary movies or happy endings?

-That's a bad question because a scary movie isn't the opposite of a happy ending, a sad ending is. I'd go for bittersweet endings and I enjoy both scary movies (if done right) and happy endings.

>Any talents?

-I don't really believe in talent, everything comes down to determination and practice. But what I truly enjoy about myself is the ability to try new things and constantly evolve in everything

>Where were you born?

- In Greece

>What are your hobbies?

-Scale modelling (mainly WWII dioramas), DnD, Illustration Drawing, Gardening, Game Development, Gaming, Cooking, Graffiti, Bike riding, 3D modelling and many more that I can't recall. As mentioned before taking up new hobbies is part of my personality and I really enjoy experiencing more aspects of life.

>Do you have any pets?

-We share a single braincell cat with Sol called Ahsoka (yes named after the star wars character).

>How tall are you?

- 1.8m

>Favorite subject in school?

-I liked pretty much everything, but none truly clicked with me the way it was taught.

>Dream job?

-None, I cannot have a dream job because money isn't my drive, knowledge is. That being said, my favourite ways of passing my time throughout my life are my hobbies.

If you see those questions and want to reply, consider yourself tagged by me!

[desultory-novice]

If there was ever a rhythm game for Kirby (that is not Drum Dash), what direction do you think it'll take? I think a lot of us would enjoy breaking our fingers playing a super-hard chart of a boss medley or something. It would definitely be fun if all of the infamous Kirby tracks were included in the game!

(Although, for something more indulgent, maybe they'll conjure up a gacha-type rhythm game with those collectible cards, sorta like the official twitter art?)

This post made me realize my only go-to rhythm games are Bust a Groove (...1998...), Guitar Hero, Project Diva, and the Hypnosis Mic rhythm game. I dabbled in a few more here and there but I have no idea where the genre is as a whole. ^^; (This did encourage me to watch a breakdown of the Persona Dancing All Night series though!)

My take is that a Kirby rhythm game would be a huge amount of fun! With an amazing library of songs to remix (and some that would provide absolutely killer note charts) I can imagine practice sessions hammering away at multi-note combos to get that long-awaited perfect would be a great time! Being Kirby, it would probably start out as easy as possible for newcomers to the genre, but I imagine once you unlock the harder difficulties, there'll be no holding back!

And I could definitely be made to simp for a game that offered me glittery Kirby images as rewards - as long as there was a healthy amount of newly drawn art in there to collect!

(I often hope we'll see a resurrection of the Twitter art in some form or another. Getting semi-regular peeks into Dream Land was a blast!)

Other wish list items: I want vocal remixes! I think most people have some familiarity with "The Apple Juice Song" thanks to Oniri Boy's very cute animation of it, but the Kirby Memorial Arrangements album (where that song comes from) also has a tearjerking vocal arrangement of Sectonia's theme and a 70s anime opening-esque version of Meta Knight's theme that I unabashedly love!! So my Kirby "Dream Band" game would definitely include vocal remixes!

And... I want to be able to dress up the characters - yes, characters! I don't want "just" a rhythm game, I want it to be a dancing game! Seeing Persona Dancing All Night solidified this desire for me. I want to have a variety of Dream Land residents in a dance off, dancing in a variety of 3D rendered backgrounds, dressed in fun, flashy fashions! ("What's that? Half of them don't have legs? Upper body-heavy dance styles are totally a thing though!" ...Plus, not having feet didn't stop all those Magolor MMD video creators!) Star Allies proved to us that everyone can in some form do "The Kirby Dance" so I so no reason a dance game should be off limits for this world!

...Ahhh, darn it, anon! You have put the dream of a Kirby dance game with boatloads of characters, stylish graphics, loads of customization options, and amazing vocal remixes in my head and I don't know if we'll ever truly get that now! Nooooooooooo...!

Appearance: long dark/almost black hair, same color eyes. I’m pretty lean and average height, always dress in dark clothing or neutral shades. Very into formal clothes, always dress like i have somewhere to go(i dont)

Personality: when meeting someone for the first time, I’m all awkward smiles, avoiding eye contact, and shy politeness. Ermm i tend to get attached to people to continue to look past that and continue talking to me. Anyways after being friends for a while, i get so much louder and more talkative, i like to annoy/tease my friends but will stop when they tell me to. Sarcastic, protective, loyal, and i also tend to make A LOT of jokes…sometimes during bad times. On the other hand, i can be quite irritable, gets overstimulated by my surroundings easily, awful memory, no motivation to do simple tasks at times, sensitive, sometimes does not know when to shut up

Likes: all forms of art, fiction books, the night sky, quiet environments, rain, storms, loud music, spending time with people i care about, playing videogames, trying out new hobbies, having my own space once in a while. Love when people rant about their interests to me as well, like yes please keep talking

Dislikes: not doing anything for a long period of time, loud and crowded places, hot weather,

Hobbies: oh boy..drawing, writing, reading, tinkering with technology, coding, sculpting, 3d modeling, crocheting, storytelling. I also like collecting knives, rocks, figures, and toy cars :D

Matchup for Anon!

Aries and gemini are decently compatible, the relationship is very lively, exciting, and vibrant. From sources, I've read the Aries in the relationship lets the Gemini have their own freedom and space, and in retum the Gemini respects Aries and never leans too much on them. In the end, the two are well suited for each other and would make a great relationship, but be prepared there may be some bickering.

We all know him as being extremely talkative and social and it would make sense to act the same way around you, but when he took note of your quiet state, it intrigued him. He's someone who focus on the little things and notices when something he had talked about out of nowhere lands on his desk. To his surprise, after a couple of months of talking you became more talkative yourself, interacting more with him then before and he loved it, having an even bigger smile on his face.

When the two of you first met, his eyes noticed your clothing style and fell in love, enjoying the forming attire and the dark shades, always looking good on you. When the two of you went on. your first date, he couldn't take his eyes off of you, thinking you looked like a god/goddess. Definitely was shocked when seeing you out of the formal clothes for the first time, but he still loves you without them and thinks you look amazing.

Your guys first date together was at a museum that happened to be filled with art and all sorts of masterpieces. You guys spent hours there debriefing art, trying to figure out the meaning behind the work and what the artist was thinking when working on the piece. One time, the two of you made a joke about the Mona Lisa and created a whole alibrite plan, but that's something neither of you would share with anyone but each other.

Assasination Classroom: Hiroto Maehara

It's known that he's the typical playboy, going around and teasing his friends and other people, but when someone teased him back his face broke out into a fit of red. You were that person. It was one normal day when the ginger haired boy came over and started to flirt making teasing remarks, but he was not prepared for those remarks to be used against him. Now, when you're around him you make a flirty remark causing his face to break out in a blush and him to get annoyed wanting to be the one to do that to you.

His favorite thing about you is your personality, from how protective and loyal you are to those close to you and his favorite are the jokes. When there's a bad situation, it's always best to laugh and try to lighten the mood and he loves how open you are with that idea. It makes him laugh and smile when seeing your happiness.

When there was a storm, he usually ignored it and just relaxed playing video games or something but now with you in his life he looks at the storm differently. Whenever there is a storm, it's a sign for the two of you to plan a date that usually consists of a movie being watched or games being played for hours. When there isn't a storm, the two of you will go out at night and stargaze looking at all of the stars in the sky, talking about each of them.

Does anyone have those things you grew up with and go back to at random times in your life?

For me, it is the Etrian Odyssey 3DS games. I grew up playing EO4 and then moved on to fanfic. Was so happy when I found the fics in there at the time. Especially from this one author because I was still young in my love for BL turn LGBTQA era. It was that one author’s fanfics and the 3DS games that drew me back to them at random points in my life.

I did take a break near the end of EO4 because I couldn’t defeat the Cursed Prince and the Leviathan. But then the Untold Series were being released and I loved playing them to the point I completed the main story for both. Then I took another break from the games until EO5 came out but only played enough to the third Stratum and then paused again. Though in between all of the pauses throughout the years I have been reading my favorite EO author’s fanfics when I am in the mood for EO but not wanting to play the game.

Now I am enjoying the games again and looking back at how much fun I had with my guilds and imagining what all of my guild member’s dynamics were with each other.

Currently I now need to defeat the Titan to save the Priestess, clear the Crystal Stratum to continue the rest of the journey to climb Iori’s Yggdrasil, and start Nexus when I am done with those two games. (Yes, I made sure to get them in the 3DS eshop before it shut down). Then when that is done, I could and start the first three Etrian Odyssey games that started it all on the Switch.

Hopefully in the months to years it will take me to finish EO1-3, EOU3 will be released on the Switch. I’ve heard a lot of good things about EO3 and can’t wait to enjoy it on my own.

Anyways, this is just some ramblings from a long time on and off Etrian Odyssey fan who has been feeling nostalgic about the games and need to get back into playing and reading fanfic from that one author one day.

Think back to yesterday, what were you doing around this time? I think I was just playing a game on my phone, taking breaks in between to baby Cooper and squish his cheeks.

What was the last thing you watched on the TV? The music video of 3D. :)) The song is really catchy but holy shit can it stand on its own without the rap. I almost immediately preferred the alternate version and am so grateful they decided to make one.

Do you think pets can get annoying easily? Uhhhhh, no. Pets can get annoying on occasion, but if you're easily irritated by them then maybe you're the problem...

Did you know that pickles have no calories? No, but I also don't have any strong feelings about learning this because I don't even like pickles haha.

Do you enjoy family get togethers? It depends on the side I'm seeing. I always enjoy the food lol but I have different relationships with different relatives, and there are certain sides that I can much more easily vibe with.

That said, my family's dynamic definitely falls under the Filipino stereotype of my dad's side typically being more boring, and my mom's side being lots of fun to be with (for the most part).

In a group of three, do you often feel like the third wheel? I mean, it depends on who the other two are. I am louder around certain people and quieter around others.

What color are your pants? I'm not wearing pants but my current shorts are purple and white.

Is there snow on the ground where you are? No.

What is keeping you warm right now? Nothing, actually, even though I'm feeling increasingly cold. I should get my blanket soon.

Has anyone bought you a piece of jewelry? Yes, a previous significant partner and a close friend.

How far away is your next birthday? Seven months away.

Do you have plans for that birthday yet? Not really yet. I don't start planning on what I want to do until the start of the new year.

When did you last take a shower? This morning.

Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon? Nope, I've never seen it.

Have you ever flown somewhere alone? No and I don't know when I'll ever have the courage to do so haha. It feels so daunting! I don't even think I'm ready to travel on my own yet.

Are you more serious or funny? I definitely try to be more lighthearted but I know when to be serious. Work drains me enough during the day so I like to let loose once I'm out of that headspace.

Is there someone that annoys you but you haven’t told them? Eh no one annoys me these days other than, like, certain celebrities that I have muted on social media anyway so that I never see them.

When is garbage day in your area? Wednesday.

Who/What was the last thing to really irritate you? My brother acts like he's king of the fucking world and never does any chores. The untended pile of laundry we had earlier was irritating me to no end so I just folded everything so that that part of the house can look neat again, even though I'm already in charge of a couple of other chores.

I feel like he thinks he gets a pass because college life is supposed to be exhausting, but it feels like such a funny insult to the 9-6s my sister and I have, lmao. In any case, I ended up enjoying folding the laundry because I found it therapeutic after my long day.

Do you think people either love or hate spongebob? At least from how I see it, most people love Spongebob either for its nostalgic factor, the timeless memeability of the show, or both. I fall under the category of loving Spongebob for both of those reasons.

The people I know who aren't interested only feel that way because they didn't grow up watching the show, but they don't actively dislike it.

Have you seen that new “Lie To Me” show? I've never even heard of that. I love the 5SOS song that shares the exact same title though, hah.

What is something you’d rather be doing right now? I'm perfectly content where I am right now.

Do you find that people are too hard on you? No, but I'm sensing that it's about to be that way soon. I don't want to talk about it now though.

Do you take surveys often? I wouldn't say so, but my activity does come in bursts. It'll be radio silence for most Monday-Fridays, but I might take 3-4 a day on weekends.

Do you tend to slam things around when you’re mad? Sometimes, but I wouldn't call it a habit. I wouldn't want it to be one.

Do you know anyone who hates/dislikes chocolate? I don't think so. I don't dislike chocolate per se, but I tend to avoid it because I find it too sweet.

Could you vote in this last election? Yes; I've been voting since 2016.

Have you taken a shower today? Yup.

How much sleep did you get last night? Around 7-8.

Do you have more girl friends or guy friends? Girl.

What is your current mood? Relaxed, happy, content.

Is there anything on your mind at the moment? How I'm in a really uncomfortable position but I'm too lazy to move around. Also thinking about how much my back and neck hurts, and my stomach is also beginning to feel upset most likely because of how I wolfed down that samgyupsal earlier lol.

Are there any movies out that you’d like to see? Oppenheimer, but I'll save that for when my dad's back home so we can watch it together.

Have you ever been on a website called Stickam? No, I don't think I've heard of it either.

Have you ever hated yourself? Yes. I don't anymore, but I did, and it wasn't a good place to be in.

Are you hungry? No, I am VERY full hahaha.

Did your parents ever ground you? Yes. At the time I had actually been very surprised that they did, considering 'grounding' isn't at all a thing where I live. Anyway, I had gotten in trouble on multiple occasions both for swearing and having horrible grades, so my parents would take away my laptop for indefinite periods.

Where was the last place you went out to eat? This Greek place where I had a Very Corporate Lunch with my workplace's CEO (aka my new boss from here on out), Bea, and one of our clients. I felt sick the whole time. Why am I even in this position? I don't care for corporate talk. Can I go back to being a manager who is more hands-on with the dirty, day-to-day work?

Have you ever felt like you needed a better life than the one you have? Better isn't really the word for it. Maybe 'more fulfilling' is more apt, and I'm definitely feeling that way now.

Do you own an MP3 player of some kind? No, not anymore.

Do you have a moment in your life you wish you could replay over again? Yes, Yoongi's concert. I think of going back to that time at least once a day. Every time I remember I've seen a member of BTS I always break out into a stupid giggle and feel like I'm floating on air for the next half hour haha. UGH I LOVE YOONGI BRING HIM BACK TO ME

Have you ever been in a play? If so, did you like it? I mean I guess, in my first school, but it was always a class performance where we'd do a song number. No, I never enjoyed those mandatory performances.

What is one musical artist you wish wasn’t making music? Chris Brown. I wish everyone can just start ignoring him.

When was the last time you cleaned something? Earlier tonight when I mopped the floor, tidied the dining table, and washed everyone's dishes.

Have you ever been so sick you had to be taken to the hospital? Yes, on two occasions.

Do you like your smile? Yes. :)

Do you have someone that you think truly understands you? Sure.

When was the last time you doubted yourself? Yesterday at the aforementioned lunch. My feelings at the time were like 20% doubting myself, 80% openly acknowledging within myself that, "holy shit, I CANNOT fake it til I make it here. Everything they're talking about, from next year's contract and the company's profit is making me want to vomit all over this table."

Is there anything currently bothering you? Yes my entire back is killing me and I just need a masseuse who'll use my back as a punching bag for five hours straight.

Would you say that you’ve got something ‘special’ about you? I think about that way about myself and everyone. We all come with our own charms.

Who was the last person to cheer you up when you were down? Jin.

Are you scared of what you do not know? I'm past that point already, considering what I've been able to survive before. I just enjoy going with the flow now.

Is there anything in the next six months that you’re looking forward to? Leaving my jobbbbb. I've decided to stay for the time being just so that I can avoid looking like an asshole who leaves as soon as she gets promoted, but resignation actively hangs in my mind everyday because the more I get settled in my new job, the more resentful I get.

Were you/are you popular in high school? I was in the inner circles, but I hated being in the spotlight so I still preferred to be the wallflower in my groups.

Do you really care what people think about you? No. I have other things to think about.

Do you find yourself treating others like you’d want to be treated? Not always. I will snap sometimes without meaning to and it always makes me feel guilty and self-reflect at the end of the day, but in general I do my best to go about every day thinking of two things: treat people the way I'd want to be treated, and that I never know what people are going through at a given moment so just be fucking nice.

Are you constantly envious of others? I genuinely cannot tell you when I last felt envy.

Are you more of a whiner with things or a do’er of things? Doer. I'll grumble within myself but it's not like I have a choice for the most part so I just go ahead and do Things.

List three of your favorite TV shows: Breaking Bad, Friends, Descendants of the Sun.

Would your friends say you’re a relaxed person or stressed? STRESSED, lmao. They will be the first to tell you that, for sure.

What do you find yourself worrying most about these days? How well I can adjust into my new role at work. Maybe I'll get into it more another time, but it's 11 PM on a Friday night and mulling over work feelings is the last thing I want to be doing.

Would you say it’s hard to earn your trust? It's easy for me to trust people and just as easy for me to take it away.

Who was the last person to compliment you? Coleen.

Anything interesting happen this past week? Sure, but it's not the good kind of interesting.

When was the last time you felt scared? Wednesday, when I had to go through multiple unfamiliar roads to get to my destination that day.

What’s on your mind this very second? How I want to skip the current song that's playing, anddd I just did.

Do you know the difference between ‘your’ and ‘you’re’? Yes.

Do you correct other people’s grammar/spelling when talking to them online? Never.

Is bacon one of your favorite foods? I love bacon, but it's not my favorite.

Are you one of those people who like to sleep in on the weekends? No. I'll barely sleep during weekends since it's my only time to do normal life things really.

Do you like things vampire related? Eh, just Twilight.

Have you ever cussed at a parent or teacher? Nope. I've sworn around my parents, but not at them.

When was the last time you saw snow? I've never seen snow.

Have you ever felt stupid after saying something? Yes.

Do you find yourself cold at the moment? Not anymore; I turned off the aircon for now since the cold had been getting too uncomfortable earlier.

Are your nails currently long? Yeah a little bit and I'll have to cut them soon.

Are you the kind of person who does not like talking about their past? Certain remnants of it sure, but I'm generally an open book.

Do you have long slender fingers or short chunky ones? My fingers are long and slender and I loveeeee them.

Do you think your foot size fits your body type? I guess so. My feet are really tiny hahah I'm like a size 6.

Are you the competitive type? Yeah, in every sense of the word. I mean I've gotten better at handling losses but I still like to treat most things like a race/contest; it's just a better mindset for me to be in to be motivated to do my best.

Are you more of a mommy’s person or a daddy’s person? Dad's girl.

[petitelepus]

Hello could I get a normal twst matchup? I’m a bisexual, she/her pronouns. I headcanon myself in Ignihyde. For personality I’m creative, introverted, and individualistic. Though I’m introverted, around my friends I can be quite talkative, humorous and outgoing. However I definitely treasure my alone time the most. My interests are digital art focused and I’m in art school. I love my practice and everything from interaction design/coding to 3D Modeling to video/film to video game design to digital illustration. I do sometimes work in traditional mediums like graphite and ink. As for hobbies escaping to new worlds while reading books/comics, watching movies, and playing rpg video games. My favorite genres are fantasy and sci-fi. I also love working out. Likes: coffee, chai tea, dark chocolate, rock/blues/jazz/indie music, cafe art shows, arcades, comic book stores, roller blading to classic rock, quality alone time. Dislikes: people i am unfamiliar with and have to make small talk with, the biting cold, rain, non fiction, staying too close to reality and not being allowed to daydream/roam freely in my thoughts, too much physical touch, overly crowded areas. Thanks!

I match you with Malleus Draconia!

Normally, you and Malleus would never meet. If you are not hiding in your room then you are with your friends or alone somewhere. Malleus on the other hand can't go anywhere without Sebek or Silver following him and even if he leaves without them, his reputation makes him unapproachable.

It's funny how you and Malleus both are introverts but unlike you, he didn't choose it. You are in the school's huge library, searching for a book about fairies and you find it, but it's just out of your reach?

Suddenly a hand shoots from behind you and grabs the book before offering it to you. You turn to see Malleus and he is towering over you as he looks at you.

You might feel like taking and running, but then he gently asks, "...Are you interested in fairies?"

You nod and he gave you a small smile as he offers the book to you but he also offers to tell you things that can't be found in books. You know his reputation, but he doesn't appear as cold as people think he is so you give him a chance.

It was the best chance you ever gave.

When the two of you befriend each other you both open up to each other. He loves listening to you talk about your interests, even about things he doesn't understand such as movies, games, and sci-fi.

He would curiously ask you to explain to him more about them and then smile at the happy look on your face as you start talking. The fairy is in awe of the art you can create with a little help from technology.

It almost makes him sad that he is so bad with technology, but you offer to teach him and he is so proud of his crude drawing that you print it for him and he hangs it in his room. When asked about it, he tells that his beloved taught him to draw.

When Malleus realizes that his feelings for you aren't purely platonic, he asks Lilia for help and the old fairy told him to go for it and confess if he truly felt that way. Life is too short to wonder when you can act.

So he prepared a romantic evening for you and asks you to be his with a bouquet of black roses. You say yes and he is so happy. Sebek and Silver accept you because you make Malleus happy and Lilia congratulates you but warns you that there are consequences if you break Malleus' heart.

Malleus understands that you need your alone time to recover but it doesn't mean he doesn't miss you. You're his other half.

Sometimes you will hear a knock on your room's door and but when you go to open the door there is no one except a basket filled with things you love, like coffee, chocolate, and tea. All very expensive brands.

When you finally ask Malleus to join you on your alone time he is nervous that you can't recover from him being there with you, but you smile and tell him that you love him enough to be able to rest with him in the same room.

Nothing makes him happier than spending time with his beloved. He also swears to always keep you warm, never let you get wet and never to upset you. You are his Princess and he treats you as one.

Embracing Shorter Experiences

So one of the things that I really wanted to do this year was make a concerted effort to try and clear off a lot of the games from my backlog. This has included a lot of older and more classic games, and let me tell you, one thing that I've noticed when going through several classic and older game collections, is that these older games, even earler 3D games, respected the player's time so, so much more.

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a longer experience now and then. I love binging older anime that had upwards of near a hundred episodes. I have played a lot of modern RPGs that require something like 60+ hours to just see the end of the main quest. That's not me bragging, I just want to lay down that I have no trouble with longer experiences, but sometimes, it's so easy to get burnt out on them. I can't count how many games I've just dropped because it just took so long to get anywhere or move the game forward that I just sort of drifted away and didn't pick it up again. It wasn't out of rage quitting or anything, it was just taking so long and I wanted to do something else. For someone like me, who prefers to only focus on one or two games at a time at most, it can be real annoying to get a new game, get hooked on it, play it for several dozen hours, and then just drift away from it despite enjoying it and wanting to finish it.

It isn't like all modern games are like this either, there are  plenty of games, and even plenty of genres that essentially keep their playtimes fairly succinct and to the point. I can't recall the last time a platformer required me to spend an inordinant amount of time performing busywork in order to make progress. By the same token, it isn't like every older or retro game was good about respecting a player's time. Old-school dragon quest (Dragon Warrior in America) practically invented the concept of level grinding. If you actually look at a guide or a walkthrough for the original DQ, it's a remarkably short game, but it's runtime is padded out by the necessity to grind out both gold to afford better equipment and experience to level up to get strong enough to actually make progress to the next part of the game.

But I am thinking more of games that aren't necessarily shorter but always feel like you're making constant progress towards your goal. A lot of modern open world games break this rule because so much of what you're doing doesn't feel directly connected to your quest, it's just a load of busywork. And yes, while it does technically make you stronger in some ways, perhaps giving you access to more materials or better weapons, or filling out your map, or whatever it is that the side quests do, so much of it feels like a chore. That's what I mean by not respecting your time. When a game is so thick with story, it can also feel like it's wasting your time as well. That's the issue I had with Persona 5. I did enjoy the game, it was a lot of fun to play, but I ended up dropping the game on two separate occasions because it felt like it was taking forever to make progress… and that's a game that has a time limit, and a definitive end! Time marches forward in that game whether you want it to or not and I still felt like it took control and agency away from me often enough that I sort of zoned out and stopped enjoying it, needing something a bit more fast paced. In the moment, I could have fun with it, but longer stints of playing it really burned me out on it.

A game that respects a person's time isn't necessarily short, but it is one that feels like you aren't being held back by its design. Chrono Trigger is an RPG that I think pulls this off flawlessly. It's not a long game by RPG standards, roughly 15-20 hours or so, but you are constantly moving fowrard, constantly getting things done and moving the story forwards. It doesn't feel like the game's pacing ever slows down or takes control or agency from the player for extended periods of time.

Or how about a more modern game that I feel is good about this: Hades. Hades is a very, very long game if you want to see or do absolutely everything in it. Even getting through the main storyline takes several dozen successful runs at the very least, and that's not counting all of the side content and side stories and hidden dialogue you get even when you fail a run. It's a game that constantly feels like it's moving its plot and its characters forward, even when you aren't managing to successfully finish a run, and I think that's wonderful.

I bring all this up because, thankfully, shorter experiences are coming back, at least in the indie field. We've seen some attempts at AAA publishers to make shorter experiences that are still satisfying; Tango Gameworks' Hi-Fi Rush is an excellent, linear rhythm beat-em-up that is just long enough to be a great time without overstaying its welcome and making you feel like the experience is being dragged out, for example. But the indie space is where things like this really shine. Larger game developers, even since the shift to 3D it feels like, have constantly been pushing forward to make bigger, more cinematic spectacles, longer experiences that really push the technology they're on to its fullest degrees, and yet many of the games being put out don't feel nearly as fun or as satisfying to play because they feel bloated. Sometimes, a short experience is the best one.

I think most of us never asked for games to get bigger. It's impressive, to be sure, but it was never meant to be a regular thing. I don't want to read a book that's over 1000 pages unless it is a really, really damn good book. I don't want to watch a movie that's over four hours (or even two hours really) unless I feel as though my time is going to be well spent. I typically will drop a show, no matter how long running it is, no matter how much someone insists that it gets better two season in, if I can't be swayed into watching it after three or so episodes, I'm not going watch further.

Time is a precious commodity, something that I've grown far more aware of as I've gotten older, and so choosing where to spend it is far more important to me. I am someone who often laments when I don't see to the end of something, I always feel bad when I cannot or do not finish a game or a movie or a show or a book, but at the same time, if its length is causing me to feel like I'm just not making progress or that I could be moving on to something else, then I consider that a bit of a failing with the media in general. I want to see the ending, and that's why I've grown a lot more fond of things that actually have endings now, something I can play for around ten to twenty hours, see the ending, feel satisfied, digest what I felt about it, and then move on without guilt. Same with a movie or a show.

This is another rambly post, I admit, but I'd like to know how other people feel about the generalized length of something. Not in how it relates to how much you pay for something, I've never felt that equating length to worth is a good metric, but in how it makes you feel. What does something very long have to do to keep you invested in it, make it feel like it's worth your time to continue on with it, even when it starts to approach 40, 50, 60 hours and beyond?

[m1ckeyb3rry]

i finally got to catch up with the new sith chapters, i've been busy vacationing after school🥱 it's a great feeling to come home to several new chapters waiting lol

this is for chapter 21 btw:

i LOVE, love cordelia. she's such a girl's girl and i love how she didn't hold on a grudge against the o/c, she's soooo sweet. her thinking friedrich probably doesn't know her name😭 that's such a friedrich thing tbh

"... someone who isn’t so inextricably linked with another girl already." omg. everyone knows. like now i'm also curious of how they broke up??? like was cordelia like "ooohhh... so you're in love with your best friend and you're leaving me" or did she play the fool or something???

"... knowing full well you could never withstand torture. Not you, you were at heart a self-interested person who’d sell out Marley if it meant saving your own skin." this is an interesting take on o/c's character, and these bits are my favorite parts of this story. the o/c not being a traditional "hero" and acting against it (even getting annoyed when called one) is new and much much more realistic than idealist mcs who are willing to die for a noble cause so selflessly.

i truly enjoyed o/c and marek's conversation. she definitely needed to see the other side of the war and the consequences of her sacrifice. her idea might've led to something horrible, but it was either the enemy or themselves. i'm so glad that she was reminded that whatever she had done, it wasn't in vain and it had some positive outcomes for them. and not just for the military, but for people as well.

i love filler chapters like this! it's intriguing to dive into the o/c's life and character without getting lost in the action.

I hope you had a great vacation!! LMAO yes I’ve been trying to at least update SitH even though I’ve been slacking with updating literally everything else 😭

— yess I really wanted to subvert tropes w this fic and cordelia is a character I tried to do that with!! She’s definitely such a girls’ girl and I honestly just felt like writing her and Y/N to hate each other over a man would do a disservice to both of their characters and make them sm flatter and less 3D. Also friedrich definitely does know cordelia’s name but I’ll leave it open to interpretation whether that’s because his BFF dated her or because he just like. Remembers her name from when general magath introduced her to the trio

— SDJLSJS yes it’s like public knowledge at this point literally everyone knows but they all just kind of ignore it. I feel like it wasn’t a super intense break up or anything they just were like “okay this actually is not working for…reasons…” and moved on. I doubt either of them explicitly said why but it was definitely heavily implied

— Y/N as a character is like my favorite thing abt SitH I feel like I peaked with writing her tbh. I think the most interesting thing is that for the first few chapters it seems like she’s going to be the classic hero who chooses good and is super righteous and rises above her circumstances but then she just…doesn’t take that path. Whether she’s a hero or a villain really just depends on which pov you look at it from!! But I agree that she could never really be considered the stereotypical noble Hero and she herself recognizes that and hates when people think that’s who she is because it’s not

— marek’s physical state (specifically his face) is meant to directly reflect Y/N’s emotional state, and in accepting him despite how he was affected by the war, she began to finally accept herself despite how SHE was affected by the war. In real life, conflicts aren’t black and white, so while Y/N’s idea was definitely reprehensible, the other side wasn’t completely innocent either (although, of course, the people directly impacted by her idea — the Eldians — arguably were). For as many people that she hurt and as many lives that she destroyed, she also managed to save at least one, and that’s enough to at least allow her to start moving on

I feel like the filler chapters have been dragging on sm 😭 but at least if all goes to plan there’s only one more chapter left of “the gang hangs out in liberio” and then there will be…not necessarily ACTION but new situations and whatnot

Nelly’s comeback 15

Extract from “A chat with Kinky Nelly”, by Natt O’Neill

_____

– Nelly. I would like to talk about something that probably is not so common; sex perversions. You have specialized your career in that market.

– Right. Most of my films can be placed in the fetish porn.

– Zoophilia, or bestiality. Are you ok with that?

– Yes, no problem.

– First question. It is real?

– Ha, ha. Yes of course. They don’t make the animals using 3D software and CGI. It is cheaper to put there a dog or a horse.

– Ha, ha. What I mean is, do the animals actively have sex with you?

– That depends on the production. In some films, the animals are used like sex toys. The girl touches them, grabs their dicks and does her stuff. But the animals don’t react. But in other films the animals are trained, and they fuck you for real. And they enjoy it, trust me.

– What do you mean with “trained animals”?

– Normal films use animals sometimes, and they hire companies where animals are trained to do things. In bestiality porn is the same. There are people who train animals to have sex with women or men. They are trained to react to our pussy smell and to penetrate us. As sex gives them pleasure, it is quite easy to train them because fucking the actress make them to cum, so they really enjoy it. In most scenes with trained animals they have to be handled properly because when they get aroused by our smell they can’t control themselves. They are not like a human male actor who can pause his arousal and take a break. The animal, if it is excited, wants to fuck you and wants to do it now.

– Never heard of these … “trainers”.

– Bestiality is illegal in a lot of countries. Making animal porn films is delicate because you can do it legally only in several places. And is a niche type of porn, so training animals to fuck humans is not the most profitable business. I think those who do it are real perverts who love the training procedure or as an extra source of income. Most “trainers” are farmers or people in the countryside.

– Tell me, Nelly, what do you feel when you are penetrated by a dog or a horse?

– It is different. Horses have huge dicks, and you have to be trained too in order to be fucked. If not, you can suffer even serious injuries. Horses cum faster, and most scenes involve several horses fucking you in a row. And even in that situation producers have to add content to the scene to make it viable from a commercial way; perhaps some human intercourse, a solo show before the horses, the actress playing with the horse cum …

– Wow.

– Dogs are easier to handle. And they can be trained more easily. They are better fuckers too. Dogs can be bonking you for a long time, non-stop. They also cum a lot. And you notice they are enjoying it. Fucking with them is also tricky, because often they scratch you and even can bite you. Some dogs have very big dicks too, and they fuck you very hard with them. So your pussy or your ass is going to be really irritated and swollen. 

– And how about you? What do you feel? Can you enjoy it?

– Yes. My best orgasms have been meanwhile I was being fucked by a dog. It is like nothing you have experienced before. You have the physical experience, a dick penetrating you, but is much more intense. And also you have your brain working at the same time. You are there, four legs, with a horny dog fucking you, and you say to yourself, “oh my god, I am being fucked by a dog, how pervert I am”. Or something similar. It is a fantasy at the end, and that fantasy rewards you with the best sex when you do it for real.

– Do you think only a pervert woman can enjoy that?

– Yes. Sex is a very wide world. You can find a lot of type of ways of enjoying it. Perversions, or fetishes, are part of our sexuality. And there are a lot of people who enjoy such perversions. Will every woman love to have sex with a dog? Obviously, the answer is negative. But those who fantasize with that and do it properly discover and enjoy layers of sex that are closed for most people. I’ve met a lot of pervert men and women in my life and trust me, most of them were very normal and average people. Even men and women you never could imagine were into that fetish. I am a pervert, never denied it, and I have been lucky enough to enjoy my pervert fantasies and earn money with them.

– Nobody can’t deny that, Nelly. You have had sex with pigs too, how it was?

– Tricky. They have a dick with a funny spiral shape. But is very thin. You barely can feel something. Their cum is really thick and sticky. The problem is, pigs are big and heavy, and can be dangerous to have sex with them. As a pervert I value the shocking factor of a scene with a pig, but as a person who loves pervert sex I prefer dogs or even horses. I can get more sex pleasure from them.
