#and I can start making plans around it!

[nerdgirlnarrates]

Found out I matched on Monday (🥳), but now waiting till Friday to find out where is KILLING me. The match has felt like this distant, looming horror for so long, and it's finally become real, and it's actually happy, and now I'm desperate to know where I'm going.

#I absolutely understand why we have to wait so I'm not actually advocating for them to change it #but I'm so eager now to find out where I matched #it just felt so far away for so long #but I for sure am going somewhere on my list! #like holy shit I'm actually gonna be an internist! #I'm starting relatively soon! #the next chapter of my life is going to take shape in a real and concrete way! #and I can start making plans around it! #and by plans I of course mean getting on zillow #anyway this is the most excitement I've ever felt about the match #I won't announce exactly where I'm going #far too doxxable #but I might include the region #maybe not though #I'm realizing that having talked about my undergrad and current med school state on here narrows down who I am quite a bit actually #so I might not share the region just for an additional layer of anonymity #medicine #medblr #med school #med student #my content #my text posts

Oooo starstruck dee has little stars at the bottom of her feet! Are they just aesthetic or would they make imprints into the ground? (like pawprints)

exactly like that! though she's not the only one...

edit: might need to add some additional dialogue to this to make it more clear, but a clarification in the interim; he knows about his own footprints. he's just surprised to see something similar already there when he knows he's only just landed. he lifts his own shoe to confirm that they're not identical (and also to reveal this to the viewer). seems his stoicism beat off the clarity in this one, sorry 😭

#meta knight #starstruck dee #have had this one sitting around for *months* while i bit my nails on posting it #and then i thought maybe i *shouldn't* during the shipaganza bc it's not a direct prompt; though i do think you can read it that way #and for ~Reasons~ i needed to post this one sooner rather than later so i had to bite the bullet. #though meta knight has understandably been the second most prompted. they do indeed have the Funnest Possible Dynamic for it #stoic guy and the bug eyed little Creature he doesn't really trust as far as he could throw her (long long way) #so just to clarify this one is NOT for the shipaganza but you can read it that way if you want to #this is just a canon scene between them from her storyline. this is just something they canonically share. starry eyed idiots. #also fwiw i think i probably picked up the shoe-patterns for the knights from postitnotes7 #been a headcanon in the back of my mind for a long while but i'm pretty sure i osmosis'd it from their work #especially after drawing post's designs so much for the hnkss. i temporarily forgot how i used to draw their armour ngl #and also btw starstruck deetectives psspsps #i'm planning a much better post about this later (probably in march) but i'm going to start using this tag for Important Posts for y'all #🎀🔍 #<- for the starstruck deetectives when there's something significant in the post. #i worry about making it 'too easy' but also want stuff to be accessible. it's just for fun? the OC lore game! ARG but it's just my oc. #that would be fun right? maybe? is that too indulgent? i could probably pull it off if folks were actually interested enough to participate #anyway!! go to bed starflung #also if you read this far: anon is open again! still open for shipaganza prompts but i'm not gonna be finished them in february 😂

Just Admit It- Part 1

I've been playing around with possible friendship dynamics of the Beast Council for fun!! I love imagining what kind of childhood they could have in the Forgotten Land all together.

What if Carol and Sillydillo are the fun-loving extroverts? Leon is the introverted one who's been smitten by Carol for a really really long time but he's too shy about it? And Gori is the friend who is an excellent observer and will bluntly tell you what he thinks (and maybe has a tendency to get grumpy when things aren't easily going his way).

Somewhat of a prequel to this other doodle comic about Leon and Carol- everyone here is still a kid ^_^

Part 2

#I know beast pack headcanons are so wildly up to interpretation! there's a few canon personality traits and lots of space to fill in betwee #I also just love stories about a group of lifelong friends all doing their best! #so why not play around with them and see what kind of stories about love and friendship they might experience? heehee. #and not all of them are about just Leon and Carol I have other plans!! this is just one of the first ones I have :P #these are quick and very self indulgent but I hope they can still be enjoyable hehe #friend squads for the win!! #also I feel like I draw the beast council a little differently every time I try lol. I'm getting used to them okay they are all so so shape #you should see the first drawings I ever tried to do of them. they are a little rough xD #I'm starting to understand why there's not a TON of content for them. Pretty much everyone except Carol are BUILT DIFFERENT #LEONGAR. WHY is your body and head proportioned like that?! you made me make up my own rules for drawing you!! #sillydillo and your funny little snout! I learned so much studying you! and I have so much work to do with all of you adjakflja #but I guess that's the definition of developing personal art styles huh? #so I guess these funny little stories have the added benefit of getting me more comfortable with the beasts! #ANYWAY that concludes this round of Jojo's director's commentary. like and subscribe #beast pack #clawroline #leongar #sillydillo #gorimondo #beast council #Kirby and the forgotten land #Kirby series #art #caroleon #???? #sHOOT I still don't know the ship name I can't commit to one someone please tell me what it is I don't want to make one up ahh #ask me to tag it and I will happily do so sdjakfljdsla

the thing that no one ever tells you about making plans with other people as an adult is that while it's difficult to coordinate schedules, 90% of the headache comes from other people just not fucking responding or ignoring plans that have already been made

#i find it incredibly fucking disrespectful when people continuously cancel plans at the last minute #like believe it or not i had other fucking shit going on #dont fucking bother pretending youre going to show up if you have no plans to so i can make other fucking plans #how difficult is it to be respectful of other peoples time commitments? #i understand that sometimes things come up and you have to cancel last minute #but if i move my fucking plans around just for you and then you wont even respond to texts fuck you #im going to start killing

sorry for disappearing. I promised I wouldn't do that again but it's always the thing I fall back on in desperate times. idk how to stop doing that

I'm just so tired and in pain, I wanna lay down and cry and never get back up again

#wish i could cry. as it is the tears are pressing on my eyes but cannot come out. it hurts. i wish it wouldn't hurt #all i can do is sleep as much as i can whenever i can. no other way to escape it all #trying to plan my mental illness breakdown around my work hours so my coworkers don't have to worry #i actually like being at work and putting on a smile and acting bright and bubbly comes to me so easily #but i feel the tiredness creeping in. making work a bit more difficult and i don't like that #my brain is starting to merge dreams and reality in a way that hard to tell apart #it's also whispering evil things into my ear. like: you're not mentally ill there's no official diagnosis so better be sane and normal #or: you're making it all up. stop with that. just be normal. <- about literally every single thing #<- like me dealing with depression and anxiety and probably no small amount of trauma and gender dysphoria? NOT REAL according to my brain #which is. idk i KNOW i struggle with all of these things and there have been suspicion diagnoses #but no actual 100% confirmed diagnoses and that fact is fueling my brain in whispering these mean things to me #and i'm just so very very tired of it all... i don't want to fight anymore but i'm also too scared to take any kind of final action #sorry... #delete later

Ok so personally I think the weird ass flesh garden is season five was so valid and honestly with the stem cell organiods currently being made I think with a bit of research I could absolutely make it.

#i can buy a stem cell kit for approximately 600 pounds #anyways my next plan is if i get many organiods i can get some other body parts laying around and become like doctor Frankenstein #and anyways zombie apocalypse #dont even get me started on what i would do if i could make clones

[smolsix]

so more LN III thoughts (not as many at least, read more is just for users who are avoiding altogether)

I keep thinking abt how the single player you'll be playing with an AI like LN II, and I think the game would offer a lot of replay ability if you can choose which kid you play as as they both do different things (the wrench kid has the wrench for puzzles and breaking things, and the masked kid has the slingshot). in multiplayer it makes enough sense you can pick which one to play as, but if you can choose in single I think it'd make the game have a lot more play value and that's super cool.

the fact it has online co-op can mean so much for cool additional things, and i do hope character customisation is still there (LN with Six's masks/hats and LN II with Monos also) even if you have to unlock it which would also still offer replay ability.

#i do like that the new studio whose name i have already forgotten has kept with the hidden faces theme #it feels like the game is being made by actual fans who followed the first two closely or at least did so when being handed the project #but its still got the not quite the same feeling to me but not in a bad way rn #i cannot wait to make my friends die <3333 #sixcore as it were #just a little gremlin with a wrench or slingshot here to make your life hell tee hee #im picturing LN II but in a coop setting to simulate in my little mind what LN III could be like #can u imagine doing the final run sequence when mono is getting too slow to keep up and just being on VC yelling at each other #it'd be so fucking funny i cannot wait to see what shenanigans will happen in 3 #anyways very funny i was the first time some people have heard of the new game! #i had an anon forever ago tell me there were plans for LN 3 but i wasn't following since then #i actually follow a youtube acc that posts the LN music and they started posting shit abt an ln 3 and i was like #excuse me what #i was not expecting it so soon omg #ln 3 #little nightmares 3 #text #ooc #anyways i hope they give me the ability to aggressively swing my coop friend around and launch them off of the side of buildings < 3

It's fascinating how in reaction to the crab day idea half my dashboard is like "Tumblr is awful do not give them one red cent let the motherfucker burn" and the other half is like "let's save the rec center 🙂"

#do crab day dont do crab day #itll be a nice boost to the site but like its been pointed out it wont completely solve tumblr's money woes #but also it is $3 for crabs #like... no one's asking you to drop big bucks on this #hell you can just say no #this is like how every year ao3 does their fundraiser and people come on to scream about how its a waste of money #and how you should be giving it to someone more worthy #as if those donation posts arent passing the same $5 around to get by #or when the importan blue checks came out #people spending $3 on crabs would probably spend that $3 on something equally dumb or not at all #sorry #just dont participate #and make plans to lift stakes when tumblr finally goes under/starts really sucking b/c theyre gonna keep doing shit like this #until they go under or turn a profit #thats capitalism #and even if we get our glorious communist revolution social media will probably not make it to the communes #locked it down since crab day originator found it and well its out that theyre a pro-life terf so 🤷 blocked #anyway congrats on reblogging a godless heathen #your idea was cute anyway #update: i had an idea and now its rebloggable again #fyi: i block hard 🙃

Think the twins don't even care about Tricks because bandits dying is not all that concerning and I think people assumed "that little dog of Jack's" died with him.

I think Tricks only becomes a hassle sometime later on. But no one can seem to find him... Lilith keeps dealing with vandalization and her already small crew getting picked off ("It's like a professional is hitting us. I... I think I know who it is") and, I think, just because he can he fucks with streams/the towers. He's got so much hate in his body.

Oh, and Jack's shield. Now you see him, now you don't, and now a corrosive bullets lodged in the worst spot it could be. Killing you agonizingly slow! If he doesn't shoot again and... oh. He did already

#s/i: Borderlands #Mote self indulgent bc of HIS background I could see Lilith asking Zane to try to find Tricks and he thinks he gets close. But it never work #s out. The one true lead he gets ends up being an elaborate trap. And Zane's not stupid. He knows he got out because (Tricks) whoever set it #was leaving a very firm message. Lilith is pissed and says she should've killed him. He had to have been around Jack's body before they tras #hed it. Tricks leaves an Echo recording of him killing a crimson raider as they yell their location. It's gruesome enough Lilith doesn't fin #ish it. #<- this is all too say since Jack is gone Tricks has no idea how to act. He went through he depression and without Jack I think he starts to #teeter back towards being The Demon. He can't finish Jack's plan but he sure as hell can make sure no one gets Pandora. #Or. I go with the idea hes still depressed. Still not a person. Either way. I really like my idea of a side quest from him being that he as #ks you to kill some bandits who've been fucking up Jack's grave. Do it? He gives you the location to an old weapon stache? Listen to Lilith #who says tear it down? Tricks very calmly with no music or anything goes 'You Vault Hunters are all the same. I'm coming for you Lilith.' an #d the reward is next-to-nothing

[rohirric-hunter]

Update on the Deadly Defender's Bow situation: according to the LotRO companion, there are a total of eleven bows that share this appearance. Two of them, however, I believe are not actually accessible in game, the Ashwood Recurve Bow and Tanglind, leaving me with nine options. I've put detailed information about each bow under the cut, but the short summary is this:

In Eriador, I might be able to find the Deadly Defender's Bow. It seems to be intended as a sort of Ultimate Weapon for level 40 characters, and has been in the game since very early in its development. My suspicion is that it was intended for "endgamer" players before Angmar was even open, and that I will actually find it on level 37-40 enemies, rather than 40 and above (as it isn't terribly uncommon in early game areas to find gear a few levels above whatever you're actually fighting, so you can "grow into it"), so I've been hunting around the endgame areas of Evendim and the Trollshaws, but without much luck on either count. Some challenges include the fact that the game doesn't appear to consider Gauredain to be "humanoid" based on the loot they drop (or rather the loot they don't drop), so I've pretty much been restricted to Angmarim and a handful of tomb-robbers in Evendim and the wights and hillmen in that one tiny corner of the Trollshaws.

In Moria and Lothlorien, there are 5 possible bows that might have the appearance I want: the Bow of Bluffing (58), the Masterful Bow of Extermination (52), two variations on the Supple Bow (59), and the Swift Bow (54). From my brief excursions into Moria I also think these might be found on enemies a few levels below the actual bow's level. Also, none of these names are unique. There are lots of bows with these names in Moria. There's more information about that below the readmore.

And in Mirkwood there are 3 possible bows: a different Bow of Bluffing (62) and two more variations on the Supple Bow (63). Again, these aren't unique names, more information below.

I'm not asking anyone to go on a hunt for this bow (I've been hunting for this bow for almost two years with no luck) but if you do see it, please let me know, and any information on where you got it from is much appreciated! This is the appearance I'm looking for:

(Low quality screenshot but it's the bow new Hunter characters hold during the first stage of character creation. And beautiful. Look at how beautiful.)

More information about each bow under the cut, as well as links to their LotRO Build cards for even more information.

Deadly Defender's Bow Rare item Item level: 42 Min. level: 40 Bind on Acquire

Ashwood Recurve Bow Rare item Item level: 75 Min. level: 75 Bind on Acquire Note: The LotRO Companion includes a table of scaling information for this item which I believe it didn't include a few months ago (though I could be misremembering), showing scaling information from level 45 to 140. It's possible it's in incorporated into scaling loot tables, possibly to facilitate item drops in missions, though unlikely, as it still has the -10% Fire-arrow Miss Chance attribute, which still, as far as I can tell, doesn't refer to an actual skill in game. LotroBuild seems to indicate that this is a Hunter skill of some sort, but I have no idea which one, and still categorize this item as "probably obsolete" and "most likely just the item that the character creator screen references." (Besides, why would there be a level 75 bow with specific references to Hunter skills when level 75 Hunters ought to have a LI? That would be silly. Although to be fair I got all the way to 120-something before I sat down and really put work into getting myself a proper LI.)

Bow of Bluffing I* Rare item Item level: 58 Min. level: 58 Bind on Equip Note: According to the LotRO Companion, this item can sometimes be found in level-appropriate wooden chests.

Bow of Bluffing II* Rare item Item level: 62 Min. level: 62 Bind on Equip Note: According to the LotRO Companion, this item can sometimes be found in level-appropriate backpacks, corpses, and wooden chests.

Masterful Bow of Extermination* Rare item Item level: 52 Min. level: 52 Bind on Equip Note: According to the LotRO Companion, this item can sometimes be found in level-appropriate wooden chests.

Supple Bow I** Rare item Item level: 59 Min. level: 59 Bind on Equip Note: According to the LotRO Companion, this item can sometimes be found in level-appropriate wooden chests.

Supple Bow II** Rare item Item level: 59 Min. level: 59 Bind on Equip Note: According to the LotRO Companion, this item can sometimes be found in level-appropriate wooden chests.

Supple Bow III** Rare item Item level: 63 Min. level: 63 Bind on Equip Note: According to the LotRO Companion, this item can sometimes be found in level-appropriate backpacks, corpses, and wooden chests.

Supple Bow IV** Rare item Item level: 63 Min. level: 63 Bind on Equip Note: According to the LotRO Companion, this item can sometimes be found in level-appropriate backpacks, corpses, and wooden chests.

Swift Bow** Rare item Item level: 54 Min. level: 54 Bind on Equip Note: According to the LotRO Companion, this item can sometimes be found in level-appropriate wooden chests.

Tanglind Legendary item Item level: 35 Min. level: 35 Bind on Acquire Note: This is a Hunter class item. It's also the only non-rare item on the list. A level 35 legendary item is already a bit odd, but it gets odder; it appears to be part of a set of level 35 legendary weapons that all share similar brief descriptions along the same lines: Tanglind's is, "Bow Song, legendary Elf-bow of Forest of Brethil." There is also a crossbow, Ferediron, which is class-restricted, but aside from that none of the other weapons are class items, although a few of them are unique. My suspicion is that this series of weapons were meant to be rewards for some kind of quest or deed in game that was never implemented, especially since the inconsistencies in construction make me feel like the series isn't even properly finished yet. And nobody I've talked to has ever found any of these weapons in game. (I wonder if they might implement them as rewards for class deeds, now that you don't get trait points from that anymore? Or something similar, anyway.) In any event, I'm not spending any time looking for this one.

*Items marked with a single star do not have unique names. There are lots of bows in the game with this name. However, if they only have a single star they can be differentiated by their level and rarity: the only rare quality bow of that level with that name has the desired appearance. **Items marked with two stars cannot be distinguished by their level and rarity: there are several rare quality bows of that level with that name and not all of them have the desired appearance.

#lotro #oh yeah and just in case its not clear #the roman numerals are just to differentiate between different bows with the same name for the sake of this discussion #they dont have roman numerals in game #so the plan is: put a couple of alts through vol. ii #a hunter because i think bows in general and rare bows specifically drop more often for them #and a burglar for the treasure tracking skill that will let me find containers #ive already tried non scaling instances and just running around killing mobs and it just isnt working #hathelling is the right level to start moria so maybe him #and i have a handful of hunter alts i can grind to 50 reasonably quickly #coupla lp grinding alts still knocking around that can make themselves useful #(i keep em around after ive got all the lp from them to get extra task quests for other characters) #oh and one other note re: the deadly defenders bow specifically #i think i might be able to get it from the unmarked trail #as i have gotten level 40 bows from enemies in that instance and rare 42/40 gear #but not rare bows. but theoretically its possible #but you have to understand ive run it on a hunter like 32 times. at least #i dont think its an efficient use of my time at this point

Hate that I can prettymuch never move to any better country than America (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc) because they all hate people with autism and if you even have it they don’t let you in. Because they need all the disabled slots for the people born there, why would they take EXTRA ‘useless’ people, duhhh LIKE IM NOT USELESS I’m really good at organizing I’m not a massive burden to take on just because I cry sometimes my benefits and burdens kind of even out PLEASE guys. I don’t want to be stuck here during project 2025 onward

#I wonder. If you’re a refugee because you’re gay. Can they still refuse you for autism #IF. If. We started getting persecuted for that. Like project 2025 plans to #lion’s lair #I want out of this hellhole #But literally only countries worse than us don’t care #Countries that otherwise have sense basically just see autistic people as #Pardon my slur. ‘Retarded’. And whyyy would we accept a ‘retard’ they don’t like. DO anything for us #“They’re gonna COST us money! So let’s not take them” #I DO STUFF. And hell. Even if I didn’t. Even if I was completely non functioning #And needed around the clock care. MY FAMILY STILL DESERVES TO BE ALLOWED TO MOVE #What. You have to abandon your autistic kid just to move somewhere safe? Fucked #Sorry to put it bluntly I just feel like. That’s how those countries see us #As the slur word. Not as on the autism spectrum. But as ‘retarded’. #Because if they actually knew how autism worked and that it wasn’t as simple as slapping a slur on it and moving on #They’d know that people with autism are fucking people. With valid feelings and ideas #We are NOT just a blanket slur word for ‘stupid people’. We are not stupid #I put the word in quotes every time to make sure everyone knows that isn’t MY feelings about it #But my interpretation of someone else’s feelings #IM fucking mad about it #autism

hey there, friends ! 

so. it’s may. there have been Many rumors about s5 production start dates. i think both david and joe have mentioned june as a set time, and apparently there’s a recent rumor about preliminary filming this month with certain cast members while others may be busy. idk. i Do know that there’s a potential for s5 to be affected if the writer’s strike happens -- which we should be hearing more about soon. 

as far as we know, they haven’t finished writing s5 yet. earlier seasons were still being written as the show was in production, and even just last season, the duffers made changes and added scenes late into filming -- like the jonathan and will scene from the finale. if the strike happens, the way things are done behind the scenes could change, or production could be pushed back further. 

things seem to be moving as normal for now. and we’ll know more as more news (about the strike + production) becomes available. 

#i said i wouldn't post updates like this anymore #but i don't have anyone to talk to about this show and i love to keep updated on my own #and i think we need to be prepared for the potential of production being pushed further back in the event of a strike #i know there are like... casting rumors being thrown around and i'm not sure how legit those are #and with those rumors it seems the plan is for production to run from june 2023 to june 2024 #which... we just can't know anything until it's actually happening #anyway. i'm doing a rewatch now and making more gifset plans and stuff #and i think i'll be back on here more after may 15th when this season of 911 ends lol #soooo many posts saved to the drafts to fill up the queue and i'm excited about that #also. can we talk about a wrinkle in time #like... it's literally all about love and hope and i don't know how they could be clearer about that #i hope they start posting books every friday tbh #not like i have time to read all of them but. research is fun #lex talks

#old like i think i wrote this one around this time last year #it's basically EMT!Robin doing a first aid demonstration at a high school #and there's a bit where everyone can ask questions about being an EMT and all that #and robin talks about how her actual dream was to study linguistics and maybe go into translating or teaching #so someone asks what made her change her mind and she talks about how her best friend (steve obvs) saved a life once #and after that realised /that/ was what he was good at and they made all these plans and he started going to school for it #and then he died. and for awhile it was the only thing that made her feel close to him again so she went into the course for him #and years later it's something she actually weirdly enjoys - if only for the routine of it all #she likes that her background in linguistics means that she can make all sorts of people more comfortable just by talking to them #she still doesnt have the stomach for it the way steve always had though - it's supposed to be a buckingham fic sorta #so eventually she was going to meet chrissy and they were going to get close and chrissy was gonna like. inspire robin to follow her dream #idk i have a couple 'robin lives' fics where she has to deal with the fallout of steve dying when vecna comes back
