#I haven't really been on tumblr lately so I guess I just completely forgot to do this lmao

I completely forgot to make a post about it when it happened, but I pulled for Phares and Valyx when their banner came out, lol. So here’s how that went, from what I remember of it.

To start with, I got Phares in my first batch of single tickets, so maybe I should have just stopped there, but Valyx was my main goal, so I kept going. Thankfully I wasn’t interested in sparking Michael, so being left with one spark target was a relief.

But then it took up to like 230 summons to actually get Valyx, and along the way I got like two or three Phares dupes and no copies of Michael, lol. I guess I didn’t have to spark him, but it kinda stung. It was enough summons to still feel like most of a spark, but not enough for me to justify finishing it to get Michael, so that was awkward.

I also got a Ramona dupe halfway through just to make things worse, lol.

I haven’t had much time to use them in endgame content yet, since even though I’m trying to break into the Sindom fights I’ve been more busy with GBF lately, but they both seem really good at what they do. I’m honestly kinda surprised that they’re permanent units, and that they were all released on the same banner.

I’ve done several Kaleidoscape runs with them, though, and at least in that mode, Phares is good, but Valyx feels like he’s in the highest tier on the list, along with the likes of Yukimura and Basileus. He’s very tanky and you never lose time from being knocked back, but he also does a whole lot of damage. In particular, his unique force strike is enough to stunlock most enemies while also doing lots of damage, so I typically just spend the whole run spamming that and mowing my way through everything. Hit-count enemies are annoying to deal with, but at least his force-strike does more hits than most axe units can achieve, so it’s not that bad.

I think Phares actually kinda suffers in this mode a bit since there’s so much time spent running around that it’s hard to keep up his dragondrive, which is way less of an issue in boss fights. But mostly I think his rotations are kinda clunky to do manually, so he doesn’t feel that fun to play. But for actual endgame content he’s pretty much designed to be exactly what you need for those fights, lol.

Anyway, I think at the moment I have like 150 summons, or maybe a bit more, but I haven’t gotten this round of Trials of the Mighty wyrmite yet, and I haven’t done the two new compendium events yet, so hopefully by the time the 3.5-year anniversary gala comes around I’ll be able to spark on it without dipping into my emergency reserves. At the very least there should be free tenfolds during it.

My main spark target there would probably be Sheila [if she’s the next gala unit], so I can continue my streak of having all the gala units, but if I get her along the way, I might spark Ciella, if they let us spark any gala unit/dragon we want.

And if we get a dream summon around then like I’m hoping we do, I’m still planning on using it on Sandalphon. If we also get a free dream summon I guess I might use that on F-Joachim, but I dunno if they’ll do that again soon.

Life Lately

Hey guys! So this was supposed to be TSC 5th, but I didn't posted last week because, well, you know life happens.

I had a lot to do and even though I am really setting aside time to pause and reflect, write for myself, it's just that... stuff pile up pretty quickly and after crossing one to-do's, there's another one that I forgot to do way back two weeks ago.

See, procrastination deteriorates your productivity. So never again! If you have something you can do right now, at this very moment, do it right now.

Besides, if it's important to you, you will MAKE THE TIME.

Well, lesson learned. This safe haven of mine, my tumblr blog is important to me. Not only bc it makes my head clutter-free but also bc this is my only way of a creative outlet for now.

So, not gonna promise, but I'll try to be at least consistent here in this space. As if someone's reading here or stalking me or anything but, I could care less.

Curious? Let's get this Sunday rollin' baby!

CURRENTLY

READING: The Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. I need a quick escape from my last reading, The 4-Hour Work Week... Still haven't finished it yet! Although I'm on the last part of the book, I need to desperately drag myself just to get by to one chapter a day. I don't want to give it up yet but Idk, I'm not in the right motivational space to continue either. I've been meaning to buy new books from my TBR, can't believe it's been two months and I'm still on the shelf-control and book buying ban phase.

WRITING: My pending article from my writing gig (hope to finish even just the rough draft tho!) I'm a week late but well, great quality writing takes time, yes?

LISTENING: Lady Marmalade (brushing my basic knowledge of the romantic language, French) yet I speak like a dummy 5 yrs old.

THINKING: A lot of things. It seems like every drawer on my highly-organized mind is open wide and I can't even proceed on how and where to start, what to share or whether what is okay to share.

SMELLING: Hand sanitizer neutral scent and my freshly clean furr balls!

WISHING: For extra hours beyond the 24 hours a day?

HOPING: That this coming week will be full of fulfillment, accomplishment, joyful intentions, good news, and abundance + blessings.

Well, I have one good news to share! I got the job offer!!! Still can't believe it. Idk, it seems surreal, I'm still in that shookt stage. But this is real, it's actually happening. I have accepted it and signed. I'll be committed into this.

I am ethereal grateful for all the opportunities that came my way, and God answering my prayers. He really does listen.

So it means that, this is it! This is the one big shot I've been chasing all my life and I can't wait to start working soon!

I've already secured and achieved my main goal for this Q1. I'm forever thankful, blessed, humbled, and happy. Patience is really something I got to work out! But in the end, it all turned out fine.

I feel like everything is now falling perfectly into place. I am contented in my life and glad about the little things. Even just having a warm cooked meal makes me melt.

This is it! This will be my stepping stone towards achieving that career.

I also hope that I'll be able to process the pre-employment requirements within this week. I'm just a bit nervous because of all the waiting game, the time it would take to get cleared and verified identification, all that stuff. I hope I can start afresh, renewed, and at my best. No more follow-ups, I hope I'll be able to complete it this week!

WEARING: An oversized sports tee, with comfy shorts.

NEEDING: More assurance, I guess? But where else I could have it? I have to train to calm my mind first and don't be a fucking nervous-wreck.

I also need a new haircut! Maybe I'll cut my hair short because new job, new look! And also I'm inspired by Aileen Xu of Lavendaire about cutting hair can also means cutting those old energies that are holding you back.

This will be a perfect opportunity for me to start fresh and confidently, of course. I think I also need to spice it up a bit by hair coloring. Any suggestions?

FEELING: Stoked! I have a lot to look forward this week and can you believe after that, we're on the 3rd month of 2022?

Today's a cool day anyway, 02-20-2022

A lot of 0s and 2s.. My boyfriend notice.

So anyway, looking back at the past week, I do enjoy our Valentine's. We eat out dinner at this aesthetically pleasing fishing vilage resto near the area. We exchanged gifts and we celebrated in love and peace.

It's also the week I received the best news in my life and I received a huge opportunity that I can't pass. I don't want to screw it up. No pressure because, I'm just plain happy, I got my dream/ideal job, it was offered to me, they were keen in selecting me. I was humbled by the experience, I don't want it to stay too much in my head.

What I'm really overjoyed is that this particular job is at the top of my list and all the parameters I set, it even exceeded my expectations of that. Location wise, career or job role wise, etc.

Dreams do come true, do they?

IDK anymore, all I know is this is it! I'm commited to this, I'll do my best. God let me have this once in a lifetime opportunity for a reason. The right reason.

My ticket to thriving career and successful life. Parents, friends, pi, self, I'm gonna make you all proud. This is all for you!

Another highlight of my week is we finally got the vaccine booster shot. Thankfully we were given a choice so I chose Pfizer, bc why not?

But then it made me weak for one whole day, my right arm swelling in numbness and internal pain. Some sort of mild side effect. But I'm cleared and all good!

So, I hope you had a great week and more amazing days to come.

I hope that whoever has read this, I hope you're in a perfectly fine condition. You are healthy, you're safe and I genuinely wish you all the best in life.

Let me leave with you this life verse of mine.

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Be patient, God moves in a very mysterious way and He uses people to get to you. Have faith that He will give what's best for you. He knows what your heart desires, now wait for Him to move in to your life.

Besides, if it's not meant to be, He will closed the door. Think of it as Him making a way to protect you from future pain. Trust that He knows better.

I'm not a religious freak but I believe in one certain high being. I know deep within that there's a more clear, calm, confident, and all-knowing voice guiding me.

Trust the universe and your intuition.

Believe me when I say that the universe couldn't care less about your shit. Get it together babe. No to conspiracy theories or whatever.

Happy and Blessed Sunday!

Currently Marvel has a 5-part comic for Beta Ray Bill out right now. It's only on the 3rd issue as of this posting so obviously I haven't finished it yet...They are really focusing on the a character's insecurities and Identity/body image issuses. I mean maybe I'm reading into it a LITTLE bit more that I am supposed to given the whole.... Non-human identity... thing... I've got going on but it's relateable content.

In general he's actually become quite the comfort character as of late. I've always liked him in general (Just LOOK at him how could I not?) but rereading a lot of the comics he's made appearances in/his sparse solo series... it's kinda clear he has an air of insecurity about him I completely forgot about. It's been literal hears since I've read some of the older Bera Ray Bill comics I own and I forget a lot of details easily. Hell, I may even be projecting a bit too much on the older material(sans his original 3-part intro.) His soul was transferred into the body of a science construct/genetic abomination so he could save his people. He used to be something else and now he hates/ tolerates what he is now. Constantly being mocked and loosing his ability to transform back into how he used to be doesn't help. His natural body as a Korbinite(He's an alien.) is extremely humanoid so we have the opposite in terms of what we'd like to have. I'd totally trade him my flat face for his long snoot in a heartbeat. And overall I could throw the two of us a serious pity party. He's that kind of comfort character for me. The kind that you can complain about your problems with and you feel like they would understand.

That aside, what a whole goddamn MOOD this new miniseries is so far. So I guess go check out Beta Ray Bill (2021) from Marvel? Obviously I'm biased because I'm obsessed with him but it's pretty good so far. Tumblr has some previews/spoilers?? In the tag for the character. It requires some prior familiarity with the character but it's nothing the Marvel fandom wiki can't handle. I'm not even up to date with the most recent titles that lead up to this book. *shrugs* I tend to roll with it when it comes to comics since there are so many I literally cannot read them all.

hi! long time no talk. sorry, i haven't been that active on tumblr lately thats why i keep forgetting to send you something. anyway, how are you? how was your day? do you have any thoughts on the other members' new hair color?? - 💎 anon

HI! i moved blogs but kept my url, i’m glad you didn’t have a hard time finding it kdskjkfdjnf i’m mostly coming only to leave some post on queue, so it’s alright :) take your time, please

here’s my reply to your previous ask, in case you haven’t read before (sorry abt rambling 🙈)

i’m fine, what about you?? really excited about the album!!!!!!!! i wish pledis design team could have made the teasers/album versions more cohesive :\despite that, our boys look great T.T

i thought i’d have a break until comeback date, but they really came for us with the tour huh? i really really didn’t expect them to dye their hair, but that was so naive of me :( perks of being a new carat i guess heheheh

WONU his video has 500k+ views on twitter, everyone has a crush on him now (i mean, they finally acknowledged it 🤣) and that’s completely reasonablemy take: he rarely dye his hair but whenever he does, is top tier, it fits him and I Love It

PINK JEONGHAN IS BACK i just. love. pink hair. so much. i always have. this is like a dream. i’m not sure if it fits the comeback stages tho??? i’m afraid he’ll have to dye again soon 🤧 now that he has a sidecut and trimmed a lil bit, i’ll take it if it’s black 👀 i wish the best for his scalp tho

i love love love uji in bright hair colors :(((( oh my!woozi was my fav, so this silver was a Great Surprise and Deeply Appreciated

i haven’t came across many dk pics during the tour and i couldn’t see his hair properly at first, so i didn’t have a vivid reaction to it, but now i think he looks CUTE and imo it fits him as well as auburn/reddish hair and that says A LOT

gyu red hair went by literally. so. fast. i thought he had purple hair for a few days and now i have now idea which color is that?? so far i prefer hit’s blue hair, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t get me dazzled. in many ways.

did i forgot anyone? we saw jun’s hair during carat bong 2.0 unpacking, and dino did get his hair a bit darker as well, right?

#my carat anon 🐱‍💻 #replies #ANON I JUST FOUND THIS ON MY DRAFTS I THOUGHT TUMBLR HAD EATEN I COULDN'T FIND ANYWHERE #AND THEN I COULDN'T FIND THE STRENGHT TO TYPE ALL OF THIS AGAIN #BUT IT'S HERE AND I'M SORRY #I HOPE YOU'RE DOING FINE #let's talk about an ode when you have time!!!
