Day 2 :: Zombie Apocalypse

full text below

do you have any idea how fucking hard it is to be a zombie in this economy? you just go out there trying to have a bite to eat so you go up to some randos and they just start SHOOTING YOU! like straight up just SHOOTING YOU! like what the hell man? i mean i know im trying to rip your brains out and shit but cant you let a guy just fucking eat???? speaking of, this guy's brain tastes weird like im pretty sure its at least fifty percent plastic, maybe even a hundred percent i don't know. was he your boyfriend or something? does this mean you're single? wanna go out sometime? you're annoying as shit but i like that in a man, keeps you on your toes y'know? keeps you humble as well like you just wake up in bed one day and go "oh god this is the guy im dating and i don't even want to break up with him or anything what the hell's wrong with me," which i think is a pretty important thing to have-- at least for me 'cause im awesome as shit and if i don't have that sort of anchor i'll probably lke turn into god or something and i dont wanna be god. not out of self-esteem issues or anything, just out of principle 'cause i think that everyone should have a fair chance at killing me which not gonna lie is pretty easy but that's besides the point, the point is that i think anyone who wants to be god is fucking stupid and should just fucking die. like, hello??? who the hell do you think you are rying to reign above other people? are you stupid? are you dumb? hello? anyways, if you wanna know more about what i think of this i post a lot on r/atheism, im user u/waffleontopp-- wait , do i have to explain reddit to you? 'cause you seem more like a tumblrina to me, honestly reddit's pretty similar to tumblr so you won't have a lot of trouble figuring it out on your own but don't be shocked ifbyou see cock and balls on there since porn isn't banned there unlike tumblr. how's that whole thing treating you by the way? must be tough not seeing some girl's boobs every once in a while-- wait are you gay or bi? must be tough not seeing some guy's boobs every once in a while, that won't be problem if you start dating me though. haha just kidding, my chest is basically concave now after a survivor beat me repeatedly with a baseball bat so ive got like negative double D's now. oh but i do know this one guygirlthing whose boobs are out basically 24/7 who likes to hang out with me and this other guy so maybe that'll make up for it. they're not zombies and im pretty sure they didnt get infected so you don't have to worry about that but they miiiight have rabies or something im not sure to be honest so maybe watch out for that instead. if youre wondering why two non-infected humans are hanging out with a zombie then we're in the same boat, might have something to do with the possible rabies i mentioned earlier. also if they tell you that im their pet zombie that is simply not true, if anything it's the other way around, they're my pet guard dogs and they do basically anything i say even if it kills them. or at least i wish it would kill them, they're way too hardy in my opinion, i need them to die so i can eat their brains-- oh but then i'll have to do manual labor. hmm, on second thought, they can stay actually i don't wanna deal with all that. normally i dont even do my own kills nowadays, i just leave a trap or get the other two to do it for me, you guys just caught me offguard which is lowkey embarassing but trust me i am a huge, like Huge alpha sigma gamma male and would totally dominate everyone else around me. but not in a god way of course, just in a lone sigma alpha gamma wolf kinda way like those anime wolf furry drawings. you know the ones. and like im not a furry but not gonna lie they totally popped off with those

*****

// I think Lavender for some reason but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Cinnamon ones DO smell too strong, random audience person! you are right

*****

Dan asking for us to come forth with our saved instagram stories 😂

They're all tagged on here

oh wow, random person, is it milk??

holy shit, nope, you didn't tumblr search efficiently there, rando

😂

*****

Dan like "fuck them all, they can't be phannies if I'm not, they gave wrong answers that I knew!"

*****

Phil's fucking French sentences 😂

It's always the same ones and they're useless

"is there a play room?" "I'm 11 years old" 😂😂😂

*****

Of course, OF COURSE Dan spoke French at 5 yo

Daniel with two Ls means it's a woman (in French), Phil...

*****

THE S

*****

"pour all the water on top of me, cause that's what I am"

*Dan laughs*

"i think that's enough"

😂

*****

We really are fucked up, aren't we?

"You could win a cube" and we're all excited

*****

That was so lovely, less chaotic gay™ vibes than Tuesday imho, but that's okay 🤔😂

CONGRATULATIONS ON 2K I LOVE YOU SO MUCH🥰🥰💓💓💓i’m so sorry i didn’t see the post earlier i think it got lost in my notifs :(( but please would you do a group costume for me and sugawara coming with you and tsukki?🥺our dynamic would probably be us being a great chaotic funny pair that’s obsessed with left titties, tsukki pretending to hate every moment of it and shutting us down with his dry humour and sugawara just being fun and cheeky hehe💞💞💞

-- @sugawara-sweetheart

NEEMS YOU WONDERFUL AND SWEET PERSON THE FACT THAT U WANT A DINOTSUKKI AND SUGANEEMS GROUP COSTUME BRB IM GONNA CRY FROM SHEER LACK OF UWU BUT AHHH I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS !!

we are dressing up as ... AWESOME CRYPTIDS

okay so what happened was the two of us wanted to come in as boobs at first (like that thing i sent you hahaha) and suga was like ‘so, does this mean tsukki and i are buttcheeks or the ballsack according to the theme’

and tsukki was like NO

us: but,,,, titties

so the next best thing was ... CRYPTIDS

because we’re already mothman and goatman

and then tsukki decides to come in as the loch ness monster as a dinosaur fanatic

and then sugawara’s the jersey devil (i feel like this suits him so much since your boyfriend is from hell and also he would have so much fun with this costume)

we all help out in making each other’s costumes and it’s a whole mess of cloth, paper mache, paint, fighting over who gets to play the music, and maybe more than a little flirting

tsukki and i will be bickering about how bad each other’s work is, you’ll be trying to wear your mothman wings, and sugawara just somehow ended up with perfect-looking bat wings (maybe he grew them himself??)

finally, our costumes are DONE

you have your awesome mothman wings and we also made a helmet with glowing red lights for eyes attached on it

i’ll be wearing goat horns and some furry pants and wielding a fake axe around

tsukki’s like ‘you won’t be a very intimidating goatman. you should have just been a goat’

for tsukki’s costume we made a loch ness monster head out of a fricking pool noodle and it’s like attached to his back and hanging over his face. also he made some loch ness fins attached to a box hanging around his waist

he lowkey loves it, he’s living his dream

suga has a horse mask also he’s like shirtless with furry goat legs and his bat wings

honestly he’s got the most realistic costume out of all of us because we were so busy bickering

and then when we go trick or treating everyone is just like: because we look like such a weird group

BUT WE HAVE A GREAT TIME

sugawara’s trying to teach tsukki how to trick or treat properly to get more candy, the two of us are holding each other’s left titties

at the party we eat a shit ton of candy and get kind of drunk (except for tsukki who has this thing called Alcohol Tolerance)

and then when we leave you and i drag our bf’s to the forest for some shenanigans

so we hide in the bushes and make mothman sounds whenever people are passing by and take turns leaping out to scare trick-or-treaters

you got a group of teenage boys to scream ‘MOTHMAN! MOTHMAN! MOTHMAN’ while running away

i try my best to scare people but i’m too small and tsukki makes fun of me

me: let’s see YOU try, pool noodle

tsukki: *headlocks me*

sugawara probably did the most scaring because his wings are scary af

when we’ve had our fun we all go back home and pass out on the couch still in costume (and we’re holding each other’s titties)

#haikyuu!! halloween party #costume requests #group costume #dinotsukki #suganeems #mothman and goatman #my breast friend #tsukishima kei #tsukishima x reader #sugawara koushi #sugawara x reader #hq x reader #haikyuu!!#haikyuu!! requests #haikyuu!! scenarios

So I finished reading the second book of Wheel of Time yesterday, literally years after the first one since I didn’t *like* the first one. But between my tastes changing somewhat and becoming such a big fan of Brandon Sanderson that I kinda wanted to read WoT just to get to his part anyway, I went at it again.

Here are my thoughts.

First, some general stuff:

One’s opinion of this series probably depends almost entirely on one’s tolerance and/or fondness for dumbasses, because almost none of these characters have braincells

Tolerance for length/slow pace helps too

There’s also that whole strict gender binary thing, although it is less gender *essentialist* than I remembered—a lot of these characters break stereotypes left and right. But in this series you are either A Man or A Woman, and magic Knows This

Speaking of that it’s pretty ironic that the One Power is named what it is when there are like, a lot of other available magic powers out there. Like wolves, and seeing fate.

Below the cut I’m going to talk about character impressions/where I think their arcs are going from here. While I have seen some spoilers here and there around the Internet, please don’t reply to me with any!

[[MORE]]

Rand

So our first character is Rand. Who is so, so stupid. (And hopefully not named for Ayn Rand.) He spends literally this entire book running away at full speed from like, anything that might even imply he’s vaguely important

Which is everything, because HE’S THE CHOSEN ONE

The amount of plot shenanigans with the ‘worlds that might be’ that it took to make him actually channel....

He doesn’t func, guys

And pathologically distrusts one of the only people (Moiraine) who’s actually on his side

I’m looking forward to where he goes from here though, especially due to that moment with Ingtar and being so convinced anyone can come back to the light/be redeemed

Egwene

The only truly relatable character in this book

Her reaction to having magic powers is “oh worm, let me dive into this at terminal velocity”

Which like. Same.

Everything is terminal velocity with her. According to the sortinghatchats system, she would definitely be a gryffindor secondary.

She also went through a few chapters’ worth of torture porn and now is totally willing to kill some folks

One of the few spoilers I HAVE seen is that Rand ends up polyamorously with a few women, but (due in part to another spoiler), I’m pretty sure Egwene isn’t going to be one of them? Which honestly makes her more interesting tbh

Moiraine

Possessor of one of the only brain cells in the whole book

But literally doesn’t know how to not come across as scheming, because she IS scheming 24/7. But like, for Good.

I really like her and hope she doesn’t end up so mentor-coded that she dies

Perrin

He’s a furry, and I say FURRY RIGHTS

(The whitecloaks, however, do not say furry rights)

He’s also a fan of running away from things, but not as much as Rand

He’s not my favorite, but he could go somwhere interesting

Mat

Is the rescue-bait for most of this book, an unusual but exciting look in an Edgy Male Teenager

Also has no brain cells, as evidenced by sounding the gd horn

Like omg dude. Did you really. (He did really.)

Nynaeve

Almost definitely going to become one of the most powerful people on the planet

Gods, that scene with the arches where she just. She JUST. The horrifying but awesome realization as she *summons back the arch with will alone* that she ABSOLUTELY SHOULDNT BE ABLE TO DO THAT

Just, ungodly powerful

But her power is fueled almost exclusively by RAGE

(Which she has a lot of.)

Occasional holder of one of the only braincells, but only occasionally

I’m still kinda annoyed that she hates Moiraine tho

Elayne

99.99% convinced she’s gonna be one of the women who gets with Rand

She was in the first book I guess but I totally don’t remember her from it

I don’t feel like I know much about her yet? Beyond “thank goodness Egwene has a friend”

Is probably gonna end up cool???

Min

80% convinced she’s getting with Rand

Also was in the first book tho I don’t remember her

Maybe has a braincell????

(Looks at friend basically dying in front of her) “I prefer older men”

She just says that!!!

Probably a legend for that if nothing else

Lan

I think I’ve heard he’s a fan favorite but idg why

Barely in this book tho, so maybe I’ll need to see more of him? But honestly I don’t care too much about this stoic man who has never had an emotional maturity in his life

Loial

Is there

Actually steadfast friend of Rand who Rand *trusts*, which is a miracle in and of itself

I kinda have the same feelings about him as I do about Perrin, which is to say, “ok I guess but I’m not writing him off”

Selene/Lanfear

Totally called her being Lanfear

I’m almost completely convinced that she’s either going to be grey-morality, evil but sympathetic, or outright redeemed

Which is EXCITING because I don’t know WHICH

Probably actually IS on Rand’s side??? For what that’s worth when he’s such an, uh, multivalent chosen one

“You’re the only thing that can defeat Satan but also you’re probably lowkey doomed to destroy the world”

(Yes, for those of you playing along at home, the villain is Just Satan. Or Shai’tan, as he’s called in these books)

Anyway this moved off track from the Selene thing so I’ll leave off with this parting note about her-

Hot demons are VALID

#wot #wheel of time #apologies for this sudden very off topic not-quite-live blog!!!

a life update

if you’re interested! :) i know im the nosy person who loves reading about peoples’ personal lives, so if that’s you.... below the cut sis, i see you lol

I have been sooo absent from tumblr for months now! And I know I don’t owe any explanations or anything, but idk, I just thought it’d be kinda fun to share with you guys what’s been keeping my mind busy and away! So here goes nothin’.

I had one hell of a summer. Emphasis on hell. Read: Family DRAMA. Which left me in a pretty rough place mentally/emotionally. In a much, much better place with it all now (altho as I say that my crazy aunt has been texting me all day tryna drag me bag into stuff lol no rest for the wicked y’all). But, when you’re feeling kinda down, it’s hard to find the energy to create.

I am starting up my web design side hustle!!! Which has been a long time coming lol. I’ve been meaning to do this for years, but things never quite lined up or worked out. Last year, I finally felt like I was at a good place to start, so I have! This is by far taking up the most space in my brain for now, as I’m still getting things off the ground. It’s hard to balance starting a business while working full time, and also trying to have other hobbies/interests/social interaction lolol. PS: If you or anyone you know needs a website designed.... ;) just sayin’. I know a gal.......... me. It’s me. I’m the gal. Moving on. :)

I’ve been revisiting my novel. Idk if I ever talked about it much on here or just vaguely referenced it here and there? But last Spring (yikes almost a year ago.. BIG YIKES) I started a novel with the goal to finish by 2020. I wrote about 3 chapters and effectively scrapped it. lmao. So here we are! Revisiting the drawing board. FYI, this novel is an adaptation of my “Disapora” story if any of yall remember that hot ass M E S S-- aka, how Eli and Clem meet, fall in love and what not. My concept is to take my Ivy characters and kind of build them out their own book series... a series that would explore generational ties and relationships, and give me space to REALLY develop these characters I’ve loved so much. Like, I could gush and geek over this forever, but developing the old Elliot and Clementine into REAL characters (let’s be honest, their development had always been a little... lite lol) feels amazing, and seeing the same character yet also they’re so different?? It’s hard to explain, but it’s exciting, and fun, and a big, long-term project/goal of mine, and 2020 is the year I write the first book!!!! Or at least start it lol.

I lost my very best furry friend, my cat Juno, in December. See above for mental hardship making it hard to create. However, Seth and I have opened our hearts and home to two little ragdoll brothers , who we’ve had for a few weeks now, and are in love with. I think Juno would’ve really loved them too. ❤️ They’re a lil bad sometimes lol I like to think they’re in the preteen phase right now, and acting up and being extra. But they’re so cute and sweet and quirky, and already apart of our little family.

Then there’s just tons of misc things that have sucked up my time. Like: learning how to use my iPad Pro + Apple Pencil, creating a digital bullet journal with said iPad/Pencil combo, researching going back to college for my MSW to then become an LCSW (good LORD the acronyms in the field... kill m e) and become a therapist, researching houses we cannot afford???? literally wasting entire days looking on Trulia/Zillow/etc. lol, trying out a super DUPER extreme elimination diet to pinpoint some of my health issues (which i suspect might be autoimmune by nature, as it runs in the fam, despite me not being diagnosed-- and there is a lot of at the bare minimum anecdotal evidence that AI diseases are caused by food intolerances), went through a weird regression where I played Zelda for a few days lmao, and I’ve also taken up a daily manifestation journaling practice! And lord knows what else. :)

All of this is to say.... YEAH I’ve been busy. But here I am. I can’t make any promises to myself or others are my content, how often I’ll post, if I’ll ever even finish this dang story, or what. But!! That’s all good. :) I’m gonna let myself have fun with this hobby. Because for ME, I need something I can just have fun with. Read all the above points for things in my life that aren’t meant to be taken very seriously and leave no room for ‘just have fun with it’ and you’ll get it lolol. At the end of the day tho, I love tumblr, for as much shit as we all talk about it. It scratches a very particular itch for me, and it’s an enjoyable itch to scratch (???? weird metaphor but ok). It’s fun. I love the community (I’m good at blocking the icky blogs, and love my mutuals/followers/anons/people who interact). And I love having Like Ivy in the back of my head, getting ideas and inkings for it here and there, with no pressure on myself to do anything with it, right away. I want to keep this as my creative, free for all kinda space. But that might mean some radio silence here and there. I feel like most my main followers are also adults tho with busy lives??? So I’m sure y’all more than understand the struggle lolol.

OH I almost forgot-- keep your 👀 peeled for the return of my Youtube channel this year! That was another fun hobby I enjoyed doing just for myself. I still need to figure out how I can make it work for me, in my new crazy life/schedule lol but alas!!!!! I’m a double scorpio and i LOVE a good challenge. Also might be a bit of a masochist??? So, I’ll figure it out, no worries lolol.

If you read this, and got all the way to the end without tapping out, I just wanted to say hey 👋 I see you. You’re awesome. I love you. Thanks for being interested in me. Also, we’re nosy creepers together, so we clearly have that in common 💁‍♀️ and idk! even if I’m not posting, I’m always lurking/around and always open to chat, answer asks, whatever. :) And if you have any questions about anything I wrote here, feel free to shoot them my way too!! All humans lowkey love talking about themselves (this post? case, and point oof). No shame~

Anyways-- thanks for reading!

#nonsims #yall wanna creep my life errr what #bc i wrote u a novel #:)

Hey may i request an Avengers, HP and Game of thrones's ship please ? I'm a straight girl, i'm 5'2 and i'm a ravenclaw. I have long straight brown hair and hazel eyes. In my free time i like to play volleyball, play guitar and read. I'm a very shy and insecure person so, i don't mind to stay by myself; but, when i'm with my closest friends i'm very loud and easygoing. With them i'm loyal and they say that i'm good at giving advices. Thank you so much!

I Ship You With...

Steve Rogers (Modern day)

Your shyness would never be a problem with Steve - actually, it’s all the more reason to like you. He may be down for some adventure and “big mouth” at times, he also loves the comfort of someone who’s more lowkey, not as exuberant, but at the same time fun to be around. It took him by surprise how you unveiled yourself when you became more comfortable in his presence: he thought you were very quiet, but turns out you’re a force of nature underneath... and he likes you even more for all the hidden depths he has yet to discover.

The best dates would be reading comfortably in the quiet of the Avengers tower (or relative calm, because it feels like there’s always at least someone cursing somewhere). When night dawns on New York, you’d go to your bedroom and spend a few hours reading in each other’s quiet and comforting presence, right by the window. Steve would ask you about your favorite novels and any important read that he missed since the end of the war, and you’d happily oblige. There’s just so much you want to show him, and so much he wants to discover!

I bet Steve would also love your hair and how long it is, like an imperturbable cascade on your back, and he’d play a lot with loose strands or massage your scalp if that’s what you like because it’s just so soft

Half the Avengers tower would come to you for advice, regarding matters as pressing and urgent as secret operations and saving the planet, or for (just as dire!) matters of the heart or relationships in general. Your advice is generally well received and you become known for carrying a lot of wisdom. But the one who trusts you most is definitely Steve. He would gladly put his life in your hands, so obviously he’s more than willing to come to you for advice and a serious, honest discussion.

Remus Lupin (Marauders Era)

Now, you both would certainly win the insecurity contest, but letting the other bring themselves down? Absolutely not. Not a chance. Try again. You will compliment the heck out of the other like there’s no tomorrow, until the other sees the sheer beauty that you fell in love with. It’s actually quite funny from an exterior perspective (mostly funny to James and Sirius, who take high-pitched voices and mimic your compliment battles), because you get a sense of competitiveness that no one would have ever imagined coming from the both of you.

Because there’s probably no volleyball at Hogwarts, I think you would at least try out for the Quidditch team (and obviously be selected, because you’re awesome). Even if the “jock atmosphere” is not necessarily your scene, you have to recognize the parties thrown in the honor of your team winning are a little fun. Also, all hells break loose when it’s a Ravenclaw/Gryffindor match. You don’t necessarily show it, but you get hella competitive when it comes to sports. Whatever the outcome of the game, Remus can expect a long hug after... it’s just more or less hard to get depending on whether you lost or won.

Remus would appreciate your loyalty most. With his “furry little problem”, it’s happened way too often that he loves someone deeply, gives them everything he has, offers them his undivided affection, only for them to turn their back on him when they find out the truth. Which he can’t blame them for, but it’s hard, nonetheless, to feel like no one will stick around for you. But when you find out the truth, you can’t even imagine abandoning him - you love him too much, and also you reckon that he may need your support even more now that he’s told you the truth and shown his vulnerable side. It’s the most wonderful gift you could have ever offered him.

Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion is a man of great intelligence, as well as wit and calmness. He’s a deep ocean, a surface of still water, observing and rumbling underneath, ready to bounce when the opportunity is right. I think that’s what would draw him to you in the first place: he looks for someone who can handle his mind and his apparent quietude, when really it is strategic observing, planning, theorizing, and, let’s be real, a great deal of ruthlessness. But when he finds you, not only does he find someone who can hold a candle to his wit, but also and most importantly someone who rivals him in book smarts. Intelligence is a huge factor of attraction to him, and you have a lot of it.

He would be incredibly gentle with you and show you utmost respect, like you deserve, and nothing less. There’s something in the words he uses to express his feelings and thoughts, not exactly tender or heartfelt, but particularly articulate and passionate, yet keeping a semblance of control like he always does, that touches you profoundly. The most beautiful love poems you’ve ever heard have been uttered by him, not because they’re flowery or enthralling like old tales, but because they’re rare, they’re sincere, and they strike true.

Your music is one of the few things that can bring him peace after a long day of fighting his own battles - court and politics, schemes and plots, successions and armies, he hears them all day long, and when he comes back to his apartments he wants nothing more than to indulge into the sweet melodies you play on your guitar. When you’re feeling particularly lively, he can even get you to sing, not perfectly, but enough to ravish him, away from King’s Landing.

#ship request #ships #matchups #mcu #marvel #steve rogers #harry potter #marauders #remus lupin #game of thrones #tyrion lannister #mywriting

Perfect Imperfection

Perfect Imperfection| part one

Characters: Jaemin x female lead, Chenle x female lead (the girl will go by the name of Aeri)

Genre: fluff, angst, writer!au, highschool!au

Word count: 2.8 K

Summary: Aeri is the teenager who writes. Finding inspiration in anything surrounds her, her ideas go wild once she meets the perfect character, Na Jaemin. As a writer becomes obsessive with their favourite character, Aeri grows a weird passion for the bright boy. However, she's so focused on painting Jaemin as perfectly as possible, that she ignores the furry of fiery hair that takes her to night walks and shows her secret places around the town. Despite knowing everything, she forgets that playing with fire means getting burnt. And that sometimes, when we remember to stop, it's too late.

part one》 part two》 part three

"You can't possibly expect me to accept your chocolate milk as apology for hitting me with a basketball, Hyuck." I sigh as try to figure out my time table.

"Oh c'mon, I didn't even hit you that ha-..."

"What was your name again?" I tease him, furrowing my eyebrows as soon as I realize that tomorrow I literally had two classes at the same time. "What the hell?"

"What's wrong?" Jeno asks me, peaking over my left shoulder to look at the paper in my hands. "Wow, sociology and physics at the same time? I knew you were an ace but that's a bit extra terrestrial."

I sigh.

"Tell me about it." I say. "I didn't even want to take physics this year but apparently, the principal made the other choice be chemistry."

I turn around to face Jeno with clear despair written across my face. Dramatic as I absolutely adored to be.

"And I hate chemistry."

"I know, hun." He sighs, knowing about my absolute lack of desire to study chemistry. "You should go to the secretary so you can solve this. I'll ask Jeongin to cover this class for you."

I smile and hug him tightly.

"Thanks, Jen, you're the best." I say and run towards the other end of the school hall, ready to get my shit together for the first time during the new school year.

As I was preparing myself to enter the office, the door suddenly opened, making me step back in bewilderment. A hazelnut-haired boy stepped out of the room, a sweet smile plastered on his lips. His puppy-like eyes made him look young, maybe even younger than me, but his body figure was saying something else. He was definitely new, judging by his clothes. Really, nobody bothers to dress fancy around here, unless they want to prove something. And this boy was too good-looking to have anything else to prove, except the fact that he's willed to study and be nice to everyone.

Fun.

All my thoughts vanished when we made eye contact, finally making me aware of my physical presence there, reminding me that I am not some ghost that he can't see and I can't keep staring at him forever.

However, he simply nodded his head in apology for startling me and left. I shruged it off and entered the office, ignoring that spark deep inside that was telling me he was perfect.

By the end of the school week, I actually manage to realize I wasn't missing it that much. The one and only thing that I was missing about school was the incredible desire to write that it was giving me. I could write novels and novels... just so I don't have to do my homework. I would write wherever, whenever. During classes, during lunch, with my friends or alone. It didn't matter. If I was getting stroken by some heavenly idea, there was nothing that could stop me.

The perfect character.

That's what I was doing too when Renjun came to me this evening, while I was sitting on the edge of the basketball court. He sat near me in silence for a few minutes, before actually voicing out the actual reason why he came in the first place.

"The writing contest is starting again soon." He says and I nod. "But miss Kang told me she doesn't want you to participate."

I turn around to face him, my eyes wide in disbelief. This contest has been one of my greatest motivations ever since middle school and I can't let her take this away from me. Why would miss Kang even do that? She loves me. Or at least so I thought? Have I done something wrong? Did I annoy her with my infinite questions regarding the use of tenses or anything of this kind? Hell, I knew I should've kept it lowkey...

"What? She can't do tha-..."

"I'm not done yet." Renjun says calmly. "She doesn't want you to participate because you'd win anyway."

I smile softly and sigh. Renjun has always been somehow gentle but ruthless at the same time. And he's my only friend who truly understands my passion for writing. Not necessarily because he'd be passionate about this too, but because he's interested in understanding the people around him. And honestly, that's one of the things that make him such a great blessing.

"So she told me to ask you if you'd like to be one of the judges." He continues and I look at him bewildered once again.

"She what?" I ask surprised.

"I know you heard it the first time." He smiles. "Is that an yes?"

"Oh my God, Renjun, this is... this is..."

My dream ever since I was like 12.

"Insane." I finish my sentence.

Renjun smiles in response as I close my eyes and sigh, trying to collect myself.

"So I think you accept the offer-..."

"Of course I do!" I say maybe a bit too loud.

I smile awkwardly, telepathically apologizing for startling him with my loud voice. He shrugs.

"Cool then." He says standing up. "I'll see you around."

***

"The try-outs for the basketball team are on Thursday and I barely heard anybody being interested in coming." Jeno sighs while sticking a poster on the notice board.

"Don't worry, I'm sure people will come." I say as I hand him another poster. "The basketball team is pretty cool after all."

"Because I'm part of it." He smiles sheepishly and I punch his arm. "Didn't hurt at all."

I stick my tongue out to him but he doesn't seem to notice.

"Why doesn't Renjun want to join?" I ask him and he shrugs.

"He's actually doing a pretty good job as unofficial manager so I can't really mind." My bestfriend says, looking at the posters he has pinned so far. "How many do we have left?"

"About ten." I say looking at the posters in my hands.

Jeno sighs. I wish I could do something to lift his mood. I wish I could make him believe the try-outs aren't going to be crappy, but I am not too sure about it myself. He loves the basketball team so much and he would certainly do almost anything for it. The passion that he has is inspiring, but sometimes, it's too much for his own good. However, I guess it doesn't really matter as long as he loves his job, does it?

"Let's go and stick those at each of the entrances and the notice board from outside." He says and I head towards the entrance of the building.

As I prepare to go around the corner, heading to the entrance hall, I suddenly bump into somebody, making me fall on the ground with all the posters that I was initially holding flying around me.

"Crap, I'm so sorry!" I hear somebody saying and the next thing I know is that somebody helps me stand up.

The hazelnut-haired boy I met on the first day of school at secretary's office.

Looking even finer than back then.

"Are you okay?" He asks me, waking me up from my thoughts once again.

I nod as I bend down to gather the posters. The hazelnut-haired boy rushes to help me, handing me the posters that he's gathered when we're done.

"Aeri, what ha-... oh, Jaemin? What are you doing here?" I hear Jeno asking as soon as he approaches us.

Jaemin? So that's the name of the hazelnut-haired boy?

But how does my bestfriend know him?

"I realized I'd left in my locker some books that I need so I came to take them." The boy in front of me answers with a bright smile on his lips.

God, he's gorgeous.

"Oh, the try-outs for the basketball team?" Jaemin asks pointing towards the posters in my hand. "I'm thinking of giving it a chance, to be honest..."

"Really?" Jeno says. "That would be awesome, we're actually pretty much in need of people at the moment."

"I guess I'll come then." Jaemin says happily. "Ah, do you guys need help with sticking these?"

"Well, unless you have anything else to do, sure, why not?" Jeno smiles, looking at me and reassuring me it's fine.

Fine.

"I'm Jaemin, by the way." He says, extending his hand in front of me, a charming smile plastered on his lips.

"Aeri." I say, shaking his hand.

"Wait, you're the girl from the secretary office, right?" He asks and I feel my face heating in embarassment.

"Uh... yeah..." I say and he chuckles.

"I was in a rush back then, I didn't even realize that I hadn't stopped to apologize for bumping into you." He says and a small smile makes its way up to my lips.

"Nah, that's alright."

We finish pinning up the posters while having small talk and Jaemin proves himself to be an actual kind and funny guy, which didn't surprise me that much. I could tell by his bright smile and the sparkles in his eyes that he had something special. That he would be somebody worth writing about. But there was a part of me that couldn't believe him. It couldn't believe his perfect fit for a prince from the fairytales. There had to be something twisted about him. A hidden side of him. And I was ready to find out what that was about.

***

I try to gather up my things as fast as possible after the physics class, pretty bothered by the fact that I didn't understand half of today's lesson. Well, true, that might also be because I was sketching out some ideas on my writing notebook rather than paying complete attention to the class. As I try to make my way out of the class, I bump into somebody. Why do I have to bump into somebody everyday lately? I drop my books like a loser and mentally slap myself for not taking time to put them in my backpack instead of deciding to carry them in my hands. I rush to gather them all and my eyes meet a furry of firey hair and I feel myself smiling.

Zhong Chenle. The actual sun of my year. And not just because of his newly dyed orange hair, but also because of his blinding-bright personality.

I've never been close to him, to be honest. We have never been closer than classmates are supposed to be because I simply couldn't find any reason for me to do otherwise. He was smiling to everybody, friends with everybody and nice to everybody. But at the same time, he belonged to no one, which is why I personally thought his new hair colour suited him perfectly, he was like the sun: warm but at the same time, far, far away.

He lifts his head to look at me while gathering his books and gives me a small smile that, if I didn't know him at all, I would take as a playboyish smirk. But no, that's simply his natural smile.

"Haven't seen anybody rushing so much out of the class lately." He chuckles. "You okay?"

"Just trying to leave the bad energy behind as soon as possible." I say and his loud laugh echoes in the class, some of the other kids throwing him annoyed glares. But he didn't care.

"People use to tell me all the bad energy dissappears when I step into the room." Chenle says and it's my turn to chuckle.

"Well, I guess the level of bad energy from this specific class is too much for you to handle."

I stand up and he does the same. I look at him and smile without being able to hold back. Then, I leave. But if I had looked behind me just once, I would have seen him looking back.

That evening, Jeno and Donghyuck came over with a box of cookies freshly baked by Jeno's mom. She loves me and Hyuck loves her cookies, therefore the combination. Despite the fact that it was supposed to be a study night, we end up talking about random things while emptying the cookie box.

"So, are you still writing if you're not in the writing contest?" Donghyuck asks me, his chipmunk cheeks stuffed with cookies, crumbs around his mouth.

"Of course." I say smiling. "I'm not writing just for contests."

"A mundane like you wouldn't understand." Jeno adds and I laugh at the sight of Hyuck's frown which made him look like an annoyed squirrel.

"As if you're not a mundane too..." he mutters.

"I am one of the chosen mundanes." Jeno smirks and Donghyuck rolls his eyes, making me roll back on my bed in laughter.

"Maybe... I would understand better if I saw..." I hear Hyuck saying and before I can react, I hear him standing up and heading towards my desk.

Heck no.

"Don't you dare, Lee Donghyuck!" I shout as I stumble towards him.

But I'm not fast enough. He picks up my notebook from my desk and opens it with pure curiosity on his face.

"Hyuck, Hyuckie, please just don't, it's really personal-..."

"Newton's first law of motion predicts the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are balanced." He reads and I stop in the midst of my action. "I mean... it's truly personal. So personal that I think I have written the same thing in my physics class last year."

He shrugs.

"Did you change the covers so I couldn't recognize which of these is your writing notebook?" He asks, searching through the tower of books and notebooks that was sitting peacefully on my desk. "That's actually really smart!"

However, all I can do is stare at the notebook in horror. I have certainly never written anything related to my school subjects in that notebook so how did that de-...

Wait a second.

I pick up the notebook Donghyuck originally opened and I flip its pages, searching for anything familiar. Anything that might assure me this belongs to me.

This is not my handwriting.

The physics class. The physics class. The physics-...

I freeze.

Class.

"Crap!" I mutter and both Hyuck and Jeno look at me confused.

"What's up?" Donghyuck asks. "Look, I mean... it's cool that you write about Newton's second law in your writing notebook but-..."

He stops when he sees me franatically shaking my head.

"That." I point towards the foreign notebook sitting on my desk like a cursed thing. "That isn't mine."

"Then whose is it?" Jeno asks confused. "It looks exactly like your notebook."

I know, right?

"It's Chenle's." I say but my voice comes out as a terrified whisper.

"Wait what?" Hyuck says, almost choking on his cookie. "Chenle? As in Zhong Chenle? That carrot head in your year who laughs louder than the fire alarm?"

I nod, too shocked to laugh at his funny but accurate description of my classmate.

"Why do you have his notebook?" Jeno asks.

I cover my face with hands and sigh, then take a deap breath to explain the situation to them as shortly as possible.

"We bumped into each other and I think we accidentally took each other's notebook." I say as the realisation hits me. "Guys, he has my writing notebook!"

I fall on the floor of my bedroom.

"I am screwed." I cry. "If he reads it, my life is over."

"Why?" Donghyuck asks confused. "Did you write about him-...?"

"No, you don't understand!" I shout. "Those ideas, those words, anything that I write there, all of it is... it's... it's personal! It's a piece of my that I wouldn't give to anybody-..."

I break off.

"Hey, it's alright, ask him to return it to you tomorrow." Jeno says, trying to calm me down but for the first time, it's useless.

"No no no, if I tell him that, he'll be fully aware of the fact that the notebook doesn't belong to him and his curiosity might make him read it-... DAMN what should I do?" I say as I pace around my room, massaging my head.

Suddenly, an idea pops in my head.

I turn towards my friend.

"Hyuckieee, my favourite friend... you know I love you so dearly..."

"Okay, what's up with that cringey smile and disgustingly fake affectionate words?" He asks, taking a step back.

"You'd help me right? I'm your friend and you love me so you'd help me, right? Right, Hyuck?" I ask, stepping closer to him.

His eyes widden in terror.

"For fuck's sake, Aeri, just say whatever you need, you know I hate when you do this."

I chuckle. That was the point after all.

"Give me Chenle's address." I demand. "As soon as possible."

"I don't know it." He shrugs.

"But you can find it out." I smile sweetly and he rolls his eyes.

I put on a dark hoodie while Donghyuck taps something on his phone. Jeno watches us patiently, moving his gaze between me and Hyuck occasionally.

"I texted you the address." He says, putting his phone back in the pocket of his black jeans. "But what are you gonna do? Break into his house?"

"Wait, Aeri, you're not gonna break into his house, are you?"

He chuckles and I say nothing as I take Chenle's notebook and my phone and head towards the door. When Hyuck realizes I haven't answered his question, his chuckles suddenly stop.

"Of course not." I say smiling. "Just surprise him. See you guys later!"

I close the door behind me, leaving them alone in my room.

"Was that really Chenle's address?" Jeno asks after some time.

"Nope." Donghyuck answers shifting.

Jeno looks at him expectantly.

"Jaemin's." He continues, an innocent smile on his lips.

Jeno sighs but smiles shortly after, shaking his head, amuzed by the whole situation.

"C'mon, man." He says standing up. "We have to visit the Zhong ressidence tonight."

A/N: Hello, everybody! This is my first tumblr fic, did you enjoy the first part? How do you feel about it so far? I'll update soon!

Unpopular Opinions: Kingdom Hearts Special Edition

As you noticed, I haven’t posted anything today because I am studying for my other exams for next week....literally on the day of E3 and I’m sad about that but it’s okay because my grades are way more important. So let's start off with my opinions.

1. Amano and Kanemaki SHOULD be the ones developing the characters since Nomura can’t do his job properly. In the novels and manga, the characters have a lot of depth of characterization and I love it. In the game, they are brushed to the side with an exception of Riku, Xehanort, Lea, Sora, Roxas, and Xion. He keeps adding in new characters into the series when Kairi or Vanitas or half of the organization needs proper development. After all, He's a decent character designer to me.

2. TAV (Terra, Aqua, and Ventus) is a forced friendship and very undeveloped

3. Re: Coded wasn’t needed at all

4. I love DDD’s gameplay

5. I don’t want no romance in KH series to be canon, not even my favorite ships unless it’s handled right properly. As much this is going to hurt me but I don’t want to Sokai to happen in KH3. It’s mainly not about the shipping wars but it’s mainly the fact Sora and Kairi friendship are very bland and undeveloped along with their romantic “relationship”. We are told by the games and some characters would simply say that Sora and Kairi like each other and how Kairi is special to Sora; it is all telling yet there’s no showing between them. We’ve never seen much interaction between them thanks to Kairi being thrown carelessly to the sidelines as always, the execution of their relationship is poorly written and the peak of their "relationship" happened during KHI and CoM then everything went to a rough direction in KHII. To be honest, I would be jealous of Soriku too because look at their friendship/ relationship and it took 7 installments to develop their friendship. That’s what I want with Sora and Kairi, I want to see Kairi and Sora develop a friendship first then you can add the little romance (if it’s done properly). It’s so annoying that they have to use the same scenes of Kairi and Sora in KH1 for the credits over and over again. Not only that, I am TIRED of Sokai being based off from Sora's perspective and I wish we could see from Kairi’s perspective. For example, the letter Kairi written for Sora during her training sessions breaks with Lea was so touching and cute. We need more insight from Kairi’s perspective and how she feels about it.

6. I want and need more colored characters in the series other than Xehanort and his incarnations

7. I don’t buy that Vanitas wants to be whole again with Ventus stuff because he was going to use Aqua as a backup to forge the X-blade in case Ventus ended up as a failure. He also tried to kill Ventus when they fought for the first time and Vanitas was more excited about the Keyblade War than being whole again. Maybe my perspective will probably change because Vanitas is being obsessive, controlling and desperate for Ven’s heart in the latest KH3 trailer.

8. Kairi and Riku need to interact more.

9. Ventus >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Roxas.

10. 358/2 doesn’t deserve the hate at all

11. I want more original female characters. There are only 11 original female characters in the series while there are 30-35 original male characters in the series. One girl and two boys trio is really annoying and I’m still pissed off that Larxene was the only female in the organization. Nomura said that he has difficulty writing female characters, which is bullshit to me since he could write a male character like Sora and change their gender to be female, blam! You have a female character with an awesome personality

12. KH2 story was horrible

13. If Riku was a girl, no one would be denying the chemistry between him and Sora. Sora willingly to protect Riku and Sora would do anything for him doesn't need to be sentimental however when Sora does those things for Kairi, nobody truly questions that he has feelings and love for Kairi. Why is it so different for Riku and Sora?

14. 0.2 Aqua>>>> BBS Aqua. Seriously, Aqua was so bland and boring in BBS and in 0.2, her character development was slowly progressing and it was based on her perspective too, which I loved.

15. All the original villains in the series are boring and Xehanort’s lackeys

16. Kairi should develop as a character first and associate with different characters than being in a relationship with Sora. Kairi should have her own particular experience and adventure without Sora and Riku, she needs her time to shine

17. I like Ansem SoD better than “indeeeeeeeeeeed” guy

18. Atlantica is enjoyable so fight me guys

19. Anyone denying that Roxas, Xion, and Namine won’t be in KH3 are setting themselves up for big dissapointment. The blank points, Re: Coded, DDD, heck and the interiews with Nomura hinted it.

20. Donald and Goofy should get Keyblades.

21. Gummi ships are the best

22. Demyx and Zexion are overhyped and i lowkey don’t like them

23. Roxas and Xion>>>>>> Sora and Kairi

24. The Sea-Salt ice-cream trio is far more better than Wayfinder and Destiny islands trio.

25. Young Xehanort and Time travel was not needed in the series

26. This is going to break my heart but Vanitas has no reason to be in KH3

27. The X-blade’s design is so fucking ugly, oml

28. CoM's battle system is fun

29. Larxene and Marly deserves better

30. I hate Namine’s theme song with a furry passion, her theme song makes me nauseous and annoyed for no reason. Everytime when I listen to the heores and heroines medley (Sora, Riku, Kairi, Namine, Roxas, Xion, Terra, Aqua, Ventus, and Vanitas) i aways skip her theme song

31. Too much plaid

32. I’m tired of characters looking like Sora or being connected to him

33. Don’t think twice>>>Sanctuary>>>Simple and clean

34. Saix is the worst Organization member and he needs a better role

35. Master Xehanort is so sexy, especially his bald head and wrinkly face

36. The black coats are overused and Vanitas along with Ansem SoD shouldn’t be wearing it.

37. Rokushi>> Soriku>> Sokai>> Vanven>>Teraqua>> dog shit>>>> Selena’s gomez singing career>>>>>>>>>>> pebble stones>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.............>>>>>> Rokunami

38. Aqua is hot, Xion is cute, Namine is precious, Kairi is Kairi

39. Xion is the best witten female character in the series while Riku and Roxas are the best written male characters in the the series

40. I love Destiny's Embrace Keyblade design while i hate Void gear’s Keyblade design

That’s it for NOW

xenoblade chronicles 2 rapidfire review

π after i started writing up a 5000 word review and was still on the “character” section ive decided to make a rapidfire version to get to the fucking point.

Story - at the end of the day, it’s a tale about how to deal with all the pain and insecurity that life throws at you. how to dig down deep and find a way to continue in what you may interpret as a dreadful world. it also has some of the most satisfying mysteries and plot resolutions i’ve ever seen in a videogame. utterly touching themes. unfortunately gets a bit too shonen at points especially with the protagonist. also quite possibly a lowkey harem anime.

Story rating - 8 out of 10.

Characters - mostly all amazing in the english version.

Rex - a top lad. your best mate. however, becomes a total flawless gary stu pretty quickly. better than many protagonists out there. i like the way he gets people to open up by acting so casually friendly around them. 7 out of 10.

Pyra - unfortunately the weakest character in the main cast. has 3 forms that are treated as different characters for some reason, and no emotions beyond “sad” and “in love with rex”. her mythra form is a slightly better character who will talk to other cast members and sass down people. however mythra also comes across as weak and overly emotionally fragile at times, considering she is supposed to be the Master Blade. i suspect she exists for rex to have 4 3 girlfriends at once.

Azurda - dragon grandpa. subversive in that when he dies for the hero to move on from the homeland, he immediately resurrects himself as a cute furry thing that sleeps in rex’s helmet. best videogame decision ever. gives top advice.

Nia - welsh. double furry. how old is she? 6? most useful NPC. swears a hell of a lot. hilarious sassmaster with an intriguing story and well-rounded motivations. consistently interesting relationships with other cast members up to the end of the game. even remains the same after receiving her compulsory magical girl transformation. has the most awesome magical girl transformation. gives the main villain super cancer, causing him to blow up like harry potter’s aunt. probably the best character. lightly orbits the black hole of the rex harem, struggling to maintain geostational stability against the powers of fanservice.

Dromarch - a good dad cat. there is not a lot else to say about dromarch, except that you can ride him, which is badass. he and azurda are the old dad types babysitting the kids.

Tora - meh meh. actually likable mechanic child. why is this furry cat thing a key member of my party. despite rarely ever upgrading his blade he has made me basically immortal many times. nopon mask is underrated. masterpon is same at start of game as at end of game. that is to say he is an ambitious child, and a bit of a pervert. however, has terrible taste in upgrades. has many IRL blades pointed at him.

Poppi - poppi artificial blade who speak like masterpon. poppi α has cool design. poppi α adorable and cool. due to being newborn blade, poppi have refreshing and truthful view on world. poppi have tragic artificial sister who almost die terribly after evil nopon brainwash! poppi have most sad heartbreaking scene at end of game. however, poppi QT and poppi QT π designs can die in big fire. poppi good at throwing shade. it endearing and special trait.

Morag - technically the group normie. however, very weird. when you first see morag she reeks of pure chilled badassery. logical and with a strong sense of justice and compassion, morag starts off as an intimidating antivillain but becomes a staple member of the party. even though rex and the gang are fugitives in her city, she lets them leave because she senses they weren’t crooked ruffians and they had a purpose of their own. but she comes back to kick their ass when she thinks they’re causing more trouble, and is actually quite pissed off about rex and pyra holding back on her. has a sweet relationship with the emporer, her distant cousin/adoptive kid brother. morag learns on her adventure the value of the optimistic views the kids around her have of the world, and says multiple times if more people thought like they did, maybe there wouldn’t be so much political nonsense stopping people from living together peacefully. morag has a lot of pride and cannot deal with being oneupped. i love her.

Brighid - Morag’s wife blade who is one of many that struggles with the thought of losing her identity after regenning. has a diary of her past lives. uses it to taunt mythra about that one time she kicked her ass. pretends to be a little distant but low key super emotionally invested in the cast’s development. literally asked a main villain if she was like her past self that he knew, causing him to reconsider his entire philosophy on blades becoming completely different people when they’re reborn. bitchslaps rex that one time. Owns everybody at some point. such a beautiful character design that i never even noticed her chest is basically bare.

shellhead Zeke - the prince... of NOTHING. wishes he was still a student. that one time he nearly died, he was probably impaled by a falling twig. enjoyed playing Team Rocket. surprisingly wise for a teenlike NEET. does not look after his precious turtle. potentially does have a thunder powered eye. however, definitely requires second contact lens. unfortunately not comparable to rex in combat especially as his Luck stat means using a legendary crystal on him is like throwing it away.

Pandoria - i often forget pandoria is a blade because she is zeke’s girlfriend, also i never use her in battle due to his redundentness. well reknowned for also not looking after turtles properly. also well reknowned for slam dunking the prince over his nonsense while being equally silly.

BAD GUYS

Jin - apparently has special people-drawing trait that makes all the good cast who know him shocked he is ordering such evil bastard things to happen. not entirely sure what that trait is. emo about much bad stuff that happen to him and his driver. wishes to never forget his life with his driver. dirty child killer.very aniime. why is he the only flesh eater whose core turns red? okay character with decent enough motivation. was confused as to why Malos was following him until the very end.

Malos - evil bastard. cheesy villain. you can kick his ass many times and he will get back up 3 minutes later and laugh at you while swallowing back the bile of a bitter defeat. is actually a little tragic by the end of the game. dies for no reason. makes morag jealous because he found his purpose in life, though im not sure what that is.

Akhos - N3RD. probably the most likable member of Torna. had a silly Blade companion who he was really upset died. i like how he was sentimental about his ‘sister’ blade.

Patroka - most forgettable Torna member. a little bit tsundere.

Mikhail - grew on me significantly at the end though like Akhos and Patroka his backstory was unceremoniously dumped on your lap at the last second. must be a great fan of Prince Zeke as he’s heard of the term Blade Eater. also why has Mikhail got awesome blade powers and immortality when Zeke hasnt? maybe Mikhail is “possessing” the blade per se.

Amalthus - emo bitch. stared God in the face and raised his middle finger. hypocritically creates flesh eaters then sends witch hunts out for them. i like that he reminded himself every day about how bad humanity was by doing his best to help people. so despite the praetor being this “benevolent” figure he had somehow manifested a being of pure hatred.

Theres a lot of other people I cant be assed talking about right now.

Character rating - 9 out of 10. Even though some important characters arent as impactful as they should be, everybody is memorable and I can remember all of their damn names and backstories.

Gameplay - not particularly amazing. battles are alright, RPG-wise, with orb breaking combos and cancelling being fun to use. but they’re highly limited by the fact you can only control 1 character at a time and there is no Co-op feature. they also take an incredibly long time, even for just one enemy encounter, and there can be unfair Spike damage moves that oneshot you. my most satisfying moment battling ever was when i was fighting Aeon, the final boss, and got a Full break for the first time... I decimated the fucker when he was at 60% health.

Of course, those are just the battle mechanics.

The game is full of complex mechanics that do nothing but add tedium. Every single quest in the game forces you to farm for certain “collectibles”, plants that grow in specific unlisted locations that respawn when you fast travel. Many character “affinity” upgrades, which can lock out certain areas of the map, special skills, or unique interactions, also require you to do this shit. A guide is NECESSARY for this. There’s also the Merc Missions. Little did you know, you will need to complete Merc Missions to reach the end of many blade quests!!!you know what’s FUN? Waiting for a timer to pass after 25 fucking minutes!!!! this game has NO RESPECT FOR YOUR TIME WHATSOEVER.

the biggest bullshit of all is when you’re locked out of the main story because a specific character on your team hasn’t unlocked level 3 of a specific skill, because there’s no way that you’d be able to unlock that by naturally playing the game as you have to go out of your way to fill the criteria and grind something or other for 20 minutes.

This makes sidequests absolutely worthless.

The saving grace for the gameplay is probably the customizability of the blades themselves. Not so much the skills you can attach to each blade, but that you can unlock a number of fun characters to use, and they will have their own unique dialogue. The drivers and blades talking during battle also makes a 20 minute fight feel a lot quicker.

Battle gameplay mechanics: 6 out of 10. Fun but could be better. Sidequests, crafting, and field skill mechanics : 1 out of 10. Worthless trash that should never have been greenlit.

Considering that you will be spending so much time on the gameplay, why even bother playing the game at all?

It’s very much the story that pushes the player to move onwards. If this game didn’t have such a fun cast and meaningful plot then I’d probably not have gotten past the first act.

Music and Environments - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is filled with vast, beautiful and diverse environments. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of interactivity with them other than killing monsters or foraging those bloody collectibles, but they’re beautiful enough with a diverse range of monster inhabitants that give them life. The MUSIC is godlike. My favourite track in the game would be the song used for the city in Tantal. Very ominous and beautiful hymn, sung in English.

Music and environment rating - 8 out of 10.

Localisation - While many sneer at the localisation choices for this game I thought it brought it to life. Granted I have great bias as being a Welsh girl who is familiar with the differences in UK regional dialect, but it felt like the dialogue the characters were saying also had a heavy makeover to fit the new voices... I really don’t believe that Rex’s Japanese voice actor also sounded like a Top Lad, or that Nia’s japanese voice actor sounded as much like she was ready for a valleys bar fight. However there are some clear obstacles as well - the characters seemed to have no idea of the context of their lines. This is obvious when they shout something for a long time. Rex’s “HIYAAAAAAAAH” and Nia’s “NOOOO MOOOOORE” sound comically off-tone when they are supposed to be epic. It’s the works of someone who read those lines off a script without knowing what was going on. Tora’s actor saying “meh meh” sounds like it was meant to be a COMPLETELY different noise. Morag and Zeke never go off-course, however. I think either they had an advantage with more visuals being completed by the time they were cast, or they just don’t have diverse enough dialogue in the game for it to have been an issue.

Localisation - 7.8/10 too much Meh.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Xenoblade chronicles 2 is a highly addictive game that pulls you to the finish line with an interesting plot and a cast you just can’t let go of. While Pyra is certainly the weakest link of the characters, and the game has some extremely goofy shonen scenes that it’s hard to take seriously, and oh dear me that’s an awful lot of boob shots, I had a lot of fun powering through it. I’m going to have a tough time letting go of this story and these characters.

Unfortunately the gameplay itself is not similarly addictive, and becomes more of a chore for you to get to the next cutscene or funny interaction.

Final rating - 6.5 out of 10. While a worthwhile experience, the greatest story in the world cannot save this game from piss-standard design choices. It is probably better to spend your time on a game that doesn’t have anti-fun mechanics. But I’d be hard pressed if any had a cast that touched your hearts quite like that of Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

A, C, K, M, N, Z for any fandom

Sorry for the wait but I was really trying to think through this so... Here goes.A*Hm... There is a few, most not necessarily romantic, but are well put together by contrast.TY+Sly - Seriously, bromance all the way. Even Sly cared way too much for his little bro that his persona changed completely in the third game. He was really looking after TY's well being and shows that they are inseperable after that.Usopp+Chopper - They are just the sweetest things when they are together. Shenanigans and stupidity aside, when the going gets rough, they always help each other. Both are an example pf contrast as well and they are just the most adorkable and act like dysfunctional brothers and I love that.TY x Shazza - Both has similarity, but never a dull moment for the both me and their time together. Even though I have no idea when they start dating each other between 1 & 2, they work so well. Plus it's a simple relationship which I generally enjoy in a ship as they both support each other in their adventure and their feelings, especially how Shaz actually help TY to be a better person and as well as Sly.C* I never been into incestual, abusive or anything gross of sorts kind of relationship. Or between really out of bounds and "I seriously hate you but I'll fuck you anyway" relationship between bitter enemies/villains and heroes from the get go. Like honestly, they are suppose to conflict each other.K* Sly the Tasmanian Tiger, already said it here and other posts so I am lazy to rewrite but short answer. Bad & Grumpy boy became best & precious boy while still being edgy because he likes his own style.Tony Tony Chopper, the antisocial monster doctor who became the awkward and softy with a taste of sweets and aspirin that will blush and curse you to high heavens because he 'hates' his compliments and offer you sweets as well and overall a good doctor & accepting for who he is and what his purpose is for the world as Captain's Ship Doctor.M*If I had to pick one, I would actually pick Sly over TY as he sounds like he need somebody to talk to and I would talk to him without hesitation, even if his shady pasts.N* More of TY content in the very near future, both the game and fandom wise. Like seriously, there aren't enough them so hoping for more after the Remastered Trilogy are set in motion. More so on more content for other games/movies in the furry fandom like fanarts and actual fluff since there is a ton of really cool designs and awesome fuzzy characters that I would love to see more of. And actually, I would love more fanarts of the actual scene from the games and some of those exaggerated quirks/commeby that one of the characters remark on(lowkey want Sly to drive a bunyip in Cass' room or some degree).Z* I think I said it all in the last but just to make sure... Playing Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne, seriously good game for my aggressive personality. I would look into Drakengard 3 soon because the baby dragon is just cutest thing. I would love to get into other fandoms that I recently been into and holy crap, I need to get back to Monster Hunter because there is a ton of new content as of late, haha.

like, because #trauma, I've associated manliness mostly with capacity to harm, and you and I have a similar capacity to harm eachother, we're both out of shape nerds, you have more formal power, I have more social connections, if we were actively attempting to wreck eachother, it would be a toss up who would win, so if you're measuring manliness that way, I am your equal man, but that's also a really unhealthy kind of manliness to measure, so the type of manliness I go for as a model for nerfing purposes to try and go for that nice non-binary androgyny is sort of a chivalrous servant-leadership type of manliness, and then for aesthetical manliness, I lowkey try to dress a bit like Joe Mauer, but like, those are also things that butch lesbians, but like, boys are cute so *shrugs*. You probably have similar base values for manliness though, like, servant leadership, chivalry, so like, maybe that's why I'm manly? Or you could just operate under the ideals of that type of manliness whilest striving for a different kind of manliness. You don't dress like Joe Mauer though, you dress more like Tan France, which, TBH, I should do that, Tan France's style is #goals, but it also looks #uncomfortable. Also, you could be a liar, and could think any number of things about me, you could think I’m racist, or gross, or ugly, or you could think I’m cute but also are cognizant of your culture and how the wifes of the eldest son are generally expected to take care of your parents, and you’re the eldest son, and how does any form of queerness fit into that? Hell, how does any sort of whiteness fit into that? It’s that ambiguity that cuts like a knife, rejection I expected, but I expected it to be solid, to be real, I expected you to be like, “you’re not cute because when you see a medical emergency on a facebook post, you scroll by”, or “you’re not cute because your eyebrows are furry”, or “your toes are nasty”, or “you smell because you don’t shower enough.” What even is manliness? At least I can call you an asshole if you say that I don’t shower enough. What a radical rejection if it’s true though, you’re awesome, and single. I’m awesome, and single, and we’re awesomer not dating. Kicking amatonormativity right in the balls. It’s gonna take me a while to believe that though.

My biggest fear is that you’re a liar in the opposite way though, maybe you think I’m cute and you’re not good enough because that’s shitty, and a shitty way to make someone feel, and honestly, it’s not my place to question it, but if I take a second to pull my head out of my depression, maybe you do think that, which is BULL FUCKING SHIT. Like, I know I didn’t go into a soliloquy about how cute you are, that was mostly for the sake of my heart and my ego though: that soliloquy was written and promptly burned, and by burned, I mean posted here, because here is where my innermost pain can be useful to others and never be found. IDK, scroll look at my tags I guess, person who rejected someone. But like, I can see why I could have, because my ego is fucking raw. Like, when I think someone is cute, I feel like I’m waiting for them to be like, you’re enby, you aren’t sexy, that it almost comes across as dismissive or encouraging, when, it’s just an exhausted sort of pain my dude, and it’s not your pain to bear, it’s mine. That 1/8 thing, that’s a lived experience, and yeah, you probably are just 7/8 people who think I’m not hot, and I’ll admit I try not to get too attached, because rejection is the rule, love is the exception. but if you can’t scroll, you’re kind, and are kind to me, and supportive of me, supportive of your friends, of your family, the love you have for your mom is beautiful. the love for your craft, and how you show others that by lovingly teaching them, and supportive of my friends and fam! you aren’t me but you’re CUTE, and I’m SAD, but that’s OKAY, so long as YOU’RE OKAY.
