totk spoilers
just finished the ending
WOW
i cant put it into words. each moment gripped me. I was like "meh come on" at the beginning in the castle, thinking this was NOT gonna be hard, that this was going to be disappointing like BOTW. but no... no...
it felt like a movie, but in the way a game should feel like a movie. I made sure to go in there with my champions tunic, my master sword, and everyone with me (before purah required* me too lol)
it was built up so well. first with the 4 terminals that were zelda (AND "ZELDA" CALLING TO YOU... OUGH. her voice was very... off in a way and i liked that.
then all the fights, and then going down... they gave link a little more emotion I LOVED WHEN THE SAGES SHOWED UP I WAS POGGING FOR REAL... the part with going back to lookout landing was a bit.. eh. but i guess thats good to like., have for those who were not prepared...
DIVING DOWN... EXPLORING... i felt everything they wanted me to. dread. fear. melancholy. loneliness. When the sages suddenly vanished, i felt more anxious and alone, less secure. i wanted my friends with me.
Then finally, I reached the final boss. Ganon sent his army, and that was great, then all the bosses showed up and i thought i had to fight them all at once !! ! but thankfully you dont,, but ALSO your friends leave you AGAIN! ! ! no!!! dont leave me :(
Then the fight... ganondorf was INTIMIDATING. this was SUCH an upgrade to botw. When HE FLURRY RUSHED BACK AT YOU! WHEN HE DID ALL THOSE SICKASS MOVES AND BACKFLIPPED AND REALLY JUST., WALKED TOWARDS YOU SLOWLY... AND THET WAY HIS MOVEMENTS ARE LIKE SAMURAI (I THINK, I HOPE, IT JUST LOOKS LIKE HOW THE WAY HE RUNS-- THIS WOULD INSINUATE HE'S OLD FASHIONED WHICH IS A GREAT DETAIL!) THEN TEH SECOND PHASE AND HOW HIS HEALTH BAR GETSE FUCKING BIGGER ! ! ! YES PUT FEAR INTO MY HEART MY EYES WERE BUGGIN OUT and then YOUR FRIENDS COME BACK ! ! ! Then when you finally get him, you're alone again and I LOVE HOW HIS GLOOM IS SO POWERFUL IT FULLY DELETES YOUR HEARTS SO YOU CANT FOODSPAM OR YOU NEEDED TO PREPARE GLOOMFOOD FOR IT. then the dragon...
oh i knew he was gonna swallow that fucking stone the minute he put his hand there i was LOSING IT.
HOW GHIBLI-ESQUE. HOW CINEMATIC. HOW AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL AND EVERYTHING BOTW/TOTK SHOULD BE ! ! ! ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE TRIFORCE TOGETHER, FIGHTING, WITH ZELDA AND GANON AS MASSIVE DRAGONS-- ONE OF WHICH YOU RIDE WHICH I WAS SO HAPPY ABOUT AND THEN HOW EPIC IT IS TO FLY DOWN THERE AND GET HIS LITTLE BACK SPOTS ouuuuuugh the flying was amazing and so wonderful and its always felt wonderful! ! ! then how cinematic was the fucking ENDING WITH HELPING OUT ZELDA AND HOW IT STRIPS LINK IS A LITTLE WEIRD BUT IT MAKES SENSE TO HOW OFF HIS ARM AND MAKE SURE HE ISNT IN A STUPID OUTFIT
how magical the scenery... and when link just fell back, and how you castle of cagliostro down to grip her, and how it parallels the beginning scene with accidentally letting her go which is why this whole thing happened.
the ending... when she said she was "home"... ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh
im not normal and im going to be writing a fic about her recovery and making her more sad and angry and hurt for the hurt/comfort.
all in all, 1000000000000000/10 ending. im disappointed in the zonai lore and how this did not feel like a sequel but this is a great game and it made me care so much about Zelda... I care her so fucking much she is living in my brain
*not sure if doing all that is required or if you can go to ganon straight away

yunobo is confused. dw bro i have played many games in this series and also seen two other cutscenes nearly identical to this
wait are the vas the same for the sages and their descendants and thus the champions. wait
well not the sage of water but that just supports my argument more i think. mipha voice actress real?
how did zelda fucking GET here how many fucking fireproof elixirs did she need to USE [fire temple]
elixir wears off as the sage is doing his little speech and zelda bursts into flames lmfao
hi it’s me, the swordsman link. nice to meet you [gorons will help swordsman named link]
daruk would be so proud of yunobo and mipha would be so proud of sidon and i guarantee urbosa would be so proud of riju (i haven’t gotten there yet) but revali would just be really jealous of tulin LMAO

slightly untrue actually i’m going to make a detour to activate the last three towers but two of them are on the way so it’s probably fine [forest, gerudo, wasteland]
rauru knows ganondorf is evil and is keeping him close to keep an eye on him so he’s already many many steps ahead of the oot king
also did no one notice how ganondorf was commanding the moldugas in the last cutscene. what
alright made it to kara kara bazaar! how the FUCK am i supposed to get to gerudo town though
also thank fucking god they put a shrine here i Need it
these guys think they’re gonna be liked enough to be allowed into gerudo town. They Won’t
okay thank you tulin for helping me get here i still have no idea where i’m going but i can work with it thank you
OH FUCK GIBDOS. TERRIFYING
going to avoid fighting those at all costs i think! Yikes:tm:
made it to gerudo town after many many detours! hooray!
wait hold on where IS everyone
THERE’S A GIBDO IN THE TOWN
okay made it to a. guard. this makes sense
alright so there’s people behind this wall but i cannot get in i am not allowed

i have broken into the sanctuary and i think i’m gonna die
BULIARA DEFENDS ME???? AIGHT

that’s probably not actually zelda lbr
alright I’m back i was busy cooking
sage riju let’s fucking goooooo
just realized this is a new ganondorf (unless this takes place after fsa) absolutely wild we have had three of them and like ~20 links and zeldas
okay i’m as prepared as i can be i think let’s go
terrible horrible fucked up i hate it [gibdos]
oh god oh fuck oh shit she’s so COOL [riju]
alright i was terrible at that! fantastic [defending gerudo town]
whatever at least i won
ooh mural? let’s take a look
just realized i completely forgot about akkala lemme activate that tower
alright got sidetracked into doing a thing for josha. fought a frox. terrifying shit
but i made it here to the great abandoned central mine
why are there people here
oh that bitch is DEFINITELY a yiga
okay that’s an interesting new power [autobuild]
don’t wanna do this for them but here goes
alright, who’s the “master”
MASTER KOHGA??????
oh my god he fell into a pit maybe he’s been alive this WHOLE TIME
I WAS RIGHT
i cannot fucking believe this shit i’m so happy about it
great twist actually i deadass wasn’t expecting it
oh i love that so much
man are you planning on ripping my arm off. probably yes actually
alright boss time!
done! god that was so fun
i hope there aren’t any more misunderstandings in regards to his death though that would suck *cough @ofstormsandfire's absolutely fantastic fic no one ever mentions fear cough*
HGKLSAJGLKASG JUST FLIES OFF THAT’S SO FUNNY
alright that was a great detour and i am very happy i did it
back to josha!
i. completely forgot about faron. just a minute
climbed up totori rock. mistakes were made
back to riju. that puzzle was way too fuckin annoying [red pillar riddle]
ooh temple on the ground?
lightning temple… interesting. wasn’t sure if it would be lightning temple or thunder temple (maybe like sand or desert but i didn’t think so cause that didn’t seem like it would be a fitting sage title for riju)
OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT [queen gibdo]
am i just going straight into the boss fight??? no dungeon??? what the hell
ohhhhh it retreated. so i do still have a dungeon!
finally made it into this fucking place!
five bucks says this place is the token creepy dungeon. should’ve made that bet earlier tbh
oh that voice sounds JUST like urbosa holy shit
i like how the rooms in this place have like. names and stuff
alright boss time!
OH GOD THAT DID SO MUCH DAMAGE [queen gibdo]
holy shit this is gonna be a ROUGH one
FINALLY that took me 30 goddamn minutes
just realized i forgot to put on the vah naboris mask. oh well
ooh pretty earring
so the only ring missing is my middle finger. sure wonder why that is /s
oh man am i finally gonna be allowed in gerudo town without crossdressing? swag!
vow of riju sage of lightning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
alright, let’s go talk to purah. after we check in with her i’ll probably go looking for the rest of the memories
why is there a blood moon in the middle of the day. that seems really bad
okay time for dragon tears!
SONIA NO [sonia gets stabbed]
god that’s gotta be AWFUL for zelda since now she’s lost 3 separate moms :( [unnamed bio mom, urbosa, sonia]
oh god he looks damn near identical to demise [secret stone ganondorf]
oh fuck lynels look so terrifying now i hope i never ever have to fight one
thank you zelda for having braincells and leaving
rauru going to his death a better father than rhoam EVER was [zelda telling rauru about dehydrated ganondorf]
FI!!!! [fi chiming]
zelda??? zelda honey??? what are you doing?????  [dragon tear 11]
zelda??? Is that you??? [light dragon]
ZELDA NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [dragon tear 12]
god fuck I’m actually crying
heading to korok forest. i fucking hate this
oh jeez what’s up with the koroks? what’s up with the DEKU TREE?
FUCK GLOOM HANDS
i do not know how i killed them honestly
what the fuck PHANTOM GANON
okay that’s cool as fuck thank you totk for bringing back multiple great characters/enemies
alright i’ve got the master sword and i’m sobbing my eyes out thanks nintendo!
fucked around for a SUBSTANTIAL period of time i’m going to finally do the hyrule castle thing now i think
WHOEVER THAT IS SHUT YOUR SLUTTY MOUTH I KNOW BETTER YOU AREN’T MY GIRL [zelda voice]
i hate this so much i hate this soooo much stop looking like my girl and summoning monsters and let me fucking kill you please god
yknow this cutscene would probably hit different if i didn’t already do the dragon’s tears [sanctum cutscene]
alright i died to the first hit which is just excellent
FRIENDS! :D [sages showing up]
yknow if nothing else at least he didn’t make me fight a lynel
i love how tulin is just sitting on yunobo’s back after ganon’s thing. btw
oh, the champion’s tunic! thank you zelda i love you zelda
okay i love the conversation with harth and tulin. hope you were right about the polycule goddamn
i just noticed: link is BARELY taller than tulin holy fucking bingle
missing sage? :o
i bet it’s paya. i hope it is at least that would be cool i think
MINERU???? [voice]
oh god I’m in the ground MINERU WHY
MINERU!!!!
sage of spirit mineru pog!!!!!!
i was CONVINCED whoever it was would be the sage of shadow ngl but this works!
i have built a robot. this is apparently mineru now. i’m down for it tbh
she lost her secret stone? oh fuck that’s not good
I CAN RIDE AND DRIVE MINERU???? FUCK YEAH
oh what the FUCK is that [seized construct]
is there a dungeon here or just a boss fight? hold up
oh my GOD it takes NO DAMAGE i HATE that
wait fuck i slammed it into the fence that works thank fucking god
okay i stun locked it into the second phase which is excellent
done! that gives me big koloktos vibes actually i really like that
also really really helpful that i didn’t have to rely on my battery charge things during the fight i would’ve been FUCKED
MINERU WAS IN THE PURAH PAD????? THE WHOLEASS TIME???? SINCE MILLIONS OR WHATEVER YEARS AGO WHEN ZELDA SHOWED UP?????? i'm shook
actually the more i think about it the more her being the sage of spirit makes sense since she can like separate her soul from her body or whatever i'm pretty sure
there’s the last ring there’s the middle finger!
i do think that should've been riju though for. reasons
ma’am i swear to god if you tell me what i ALREADY KNOW about what happened to zelda
goddammit she is telling me that isn’t she
she’s the older sister? makes sense actually the vibes track
oh she’s explaining the murals from below the castle at the very very beginning! funky fresh
oh geez this is how he got dehydrated! or at least the start of it i guess
yeah, mineru, I KNOW WHAT SHE DID
MINERU WHY DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN WHY DID YOU LET HER DO THAT
god like i understand that you’re dying and there was no other choice but FUCK this hurts
vow of mineru sage of spirit……. fuck
purah please i KNOW you’re smarter than this you GOTTA put the pieces together so i don’t suffer this knowledge alone i fuckin REFUSE

the fUCKING TORCH ON THE GROUND THAT’S ZELDA’S FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
alright. let’s end this
FRIENDS! SAGES!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
okay i died pretty fast there so i left, made a bunch of food, used most of my sundelions, and i’m back to try again

demon dragon…. kinda slaps
oh i’m stuck in his jaws i’m DOOMED
ZELDA!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK DAD WHY DID YOU HAVE TO CALL NOW FUCK YOU
oh thank GOD i have my hearts back
i see a couple big fucked up eyes that’s probably the weak points
thank you zelda love you zelda :) [she catch me]
damn this is gonna go pretty easy it feels like like i’m not gonna jinx it but this is going really well so far
i fuckin fell off
zelda sweetie i think you caught me wrong for a sec i almost fell off the side
FUCK UP THAT SECRET STONE LINK HELL YEAH

My personal opinion on Pokemon Scarlet Violet
While I'm trying my best to avoid spoilers, it might contain some info that you might not know yet - please be sure
Visual : Definitely unpolished and unoptimized. The game runs at 3FPS the whole time, sometimes the camera behaves weird, and some objects have kinda glitchy motion that are absolutely visible even from far.
Gameplay : Despite the visual issues - it's insanely fun. Though sometimes we can find glitches or minor issues, fortunately they are all not fatal or major problems to progress the story (as I understand the glitch hunting scene correctly). There are a lot of things you can do, exploration, taking a detour, or just catching Pokemon, all of them are wild. Usually I stop playing after beating the champion, but it's not the case for SV somehow. Though it would be super awesome if the game runs at least stable 30 FPS constantly though. Also Terastal gives it a lot more depth to the battle and the raid mechanics. It's a very simple but crazy idea without exaggerating. Unfortunately we still feel the Terastal raid battle is also not polished while we definitely enjoy the raid with friends or with random people, I just believe they will improve it more in future.
UI / Mechanic : Okay - Meh. Some are cool - like scrolling text is much faster compared to the old titles, it even allows us to completely skip some dialogues that we often read frequently - but some are definitely with space to improve, like the map or the bag. I believe there is nothing really game-breaking, that's at least good and probably they paid the effort to patch out.
Characters : Absolutely wild. Since this is just a personal note, I'm sure I'm just saying my personal favorite - they are all super unique and vivid. I can talk forever about them. Ortega, Grusha, Rika - who hates Rika, Iono - yeah I know some people hate her, I don't actively like her either but we definitely feel like she's a new breeze to the world of Pokemon so yeah I take it - actually all the team star leaders and gym leaders are super cool, I need to appreciate all the designers working on creating them. I really really wish we could meet all of them after beating them since they were toooooo adorable to just fight and bye. Especially the elite four - once you beat the elite four, you can't re-match them for good. Yeah... Rika...
New Pokemon : like how could they think it was a good idea to add just flamingos???? I mean it's funny so I love it though. You might feel some Pokemon are disappointing, like Dudunsparce, or Flamigo, I have no argument with that. But otherwise I feel they are crazy and broken in a good way, like we got chilli pepper, twin-headed chilli pepper, bread-puppy, earthworm, just a rock salt - I couldn't stop making the pog face after finding that tiny mushroom-ish pokemon that I ran into was just a tiny rock salt crystal - tumbleweed, a chibi megaman, two megamans that have flame and sword respectively, and a flamingo. How?? Let me repeat it - I absolutely love these crazy new Pokemon ideas, they make the adventure much more fun to try to find and catch a new one.
Music : Fantastic. I definitely want to point out the elite four music issue - the background music for the elite four battles can be stuck at the intro loop forever and it doesn't progress the music somehow, unless you restart the game. That's... probably one the worst audio glitches, feeling as a composer. Since it is one of the climaxes of the game... Let's forget the bug since I remembered to restart my console before meeting Rika. They are absolutely fantastic. Some tracks even seamlessly continue between the exploration and the battle phase, it makes me - wow. Plus Toby Fox made a lot of more bangers, it would be a spoiler so I don't wanna talk in depth here though - they make me absolutely hype. I'm sure for music - it's easier to understand it by listening, not talking, so yeah I recommend you to check some tracks from it. Oh please be careful the Ed Sheeran jumpscare (I love the song tho).
Story : Holy Dudunsparce. Not gonna lie, this is the first time that one of the main series of Pokemon titles made me cry through the story. Even twice! They really tried and it worked. I mean I know it's kinda cheap, straightforward and very simple because it's Pokemon which has the largest diversity of players, some are not familiar with playing games, or some are literally children, like 6 yo (right?). But dang that was something.
Overall : I think other people already said it, but - it's the most broken pokemon but so far the most fun pokemon at the same time. That's crazy.

Superpowereds liveblog part 2.
So Nick grew up in what, a mob casino? Wild! Insane.
Party for finals, held by upperclassmen. Cool.
PRESENTATION GUEST SPEAKER EH? a powered. Interesting. I get what Dean Blaine is trying to do but holy fuck, Nick is so paranoid. Like I get it, literally raised tht way whatever, but goddamn. Get this kid some Sertraline.
Party time! Nice to see Hersch out and about. I love that he's tapping Roy's memories for all the partying. As soon as someone starts pursuing Herschel and not Roy, I have a feeling Hersch is going to take on that "nerd that gets a TON but nobody understands why he does" stereotype. I'm not going to complain if it happens.
Fuckin. Is whiskey one of Roy's triggers? That's hilarious. God, having a cowboy brother/headmate is hilarious.
Alex clocks Nick having fun, partyboys Herschel and Nick content WHEN.
This guy Chris just cheats at beer pong but he can't hold his liquor because it's too good. Metaphor for something here, I can feel it. He gives up because Angela says to. Nice. Wonder what her deal is.
Alright, finals weeeeek! Nick's a movie guy, I love that. Vince is literally me prepping for shit. I love ya, silver.
NICK CALLED THEM HIS FRIENDS. AWH.
"Just an easygoing guy I guess." Nick you have OCD levels of paranoia and anxiety. Girl.
"if you want enlightenment, I think there's guys that have some." "Huh?" Oh my god, Vince you're a nerd ass.
VIDEO STORE WHAT Y E A R IS IT.
Finals! Nice.
Last man standing. Got it. Into the Labyrinth.
Okay, last three standing, top three killstreak. Neat.
"Do. Nothing." King shit.
Roy is out! Against an Amber. Neat! I think Roy deserves a pal or two. He's a dick, but I think some solid friends might be able to coax him into at least not being a TOTAL ass.
Alex and Vince team up? Fun.
Mary has located Nick. "Lead on, O champion of the misfit Supers." Ugh. They're so good dynamic wise.
"I'M NOT! A FUCKING! TELEPATH!" ALEX!!!MY LIL JEDI!!!
Alice knocked out two! Nice.
Vince ate his taser! Nice. Down Thomas goes.
Nick is using Mary as his stand. God. I kith him.
"Emotional growth can wait for later."
A siren? Oooo! How evil. Nice. Alex and Vince down.
"/Playboy/ has issues. /I/ have personality." Nick is just explaining how he reads people to the girl who can read his mind, because she doesn't get the context. Goddamn. "Mister sad-sack. Get some bitches."
"Does Vince really think of me as his best friend? 🥺"
Chad? Why can't she read Chad's mind I wonder? He wants to 1v1 Mary? Fuckin Pog.
I like Chad. I again just hear my fucking ex boyfriend in his VA. It's hard to hear.
"Sometimes doing the right thing leaves you feeling like an asshole."
I need to know WHYYY she can't hear Chad. Whyyyyyyyy. Oh my god he's altered his brain chemistry and frequency? That's so cool. I like Chad. He seems a cool guy.
Alice got GOT!
It's an invisibility person? Nick is out. That's the melbrook kids gone!
Final exam, Melbrook style. Climbing a fucking mountain?????? Christ.
Nick eye reveal after almost fucking dying? Aw. They're brown. That was a gay ass sentence, Vince.
Oh my god it's our bonding trip!!! Childhood trauma talking. I love all of them.
"You make the call." Nice. They're bondingggg.
"Nick, I'm right here." "Oh I know."
Christmas at home. Nick, Mary and Herschel are what I expected. Alice is so... Oh, baby girl. The maid is fucking Colleen Delaney, and my brain went /RUBY JOURNEY?/ because the other graphic audio production I listened to had her in a main character role, Deathstalker!
Found day. Vince...
We're back together! Nick won a car. What a dweeb. Vince is showing signs of that paladin rigidity.
Sasha! Nice. (And Julia, and the Murray twins.)
Alice keeps punching Nick. I'm amused. (Ellie spraying Ike with water also made me laugh. It's the same dynamic.)
The foley for this production is immense. The movie in the background of Numbers and Transport is good. I wonder what the lesson was. It's early, I'll probably get it later.
Alright, so we've got combat/alternative placings! Vince, Mary, and Herschel into combat, Nick and Alice into alt iirc?
Tumblr media
Vince rn lmao
I had the system explained to me prior so I knew the whole "competing against past years" thing. That's wild, but it makes sense. They'd just try again anyway, might as well streamline the process. Ten spots for graduation, huh? I hope at least a couple of the Melbrook kids make it. I'm not expecting them to, but maybe I've just read too much Wildbow. He left his protagonists fate up to a dice roll. Nobody is safe over there.
Into combat and alt training. Holy shit, listening to Nick have a fucking seizure was delightful I mean, so crazy. Hell yes, alt training, that's where I'd want to go.
Herschel paRTYBOY ARC WE ARE GETTING ITTTTT
Alice and Mary dress up montage!!
WILL BUGGED JILL? LMAO!!!!
Jill sends dudes after Will. This is clearly like, a haha gay people funny joke, and yet, I'm amused. Is this homophobic of me or am I just like "Jill clocked her brother and is just going about it the wrong way and THAT is funny"
Camille... Shy? Camille- oh my god they've MET! That's ADORABLE! Oh shit she's the injury transferrer! In talking to my dad I've learned of her. Jeez. That's potent as hell. She's so baby. And Vince doesn't remember?? That's adorable.
Okay, cool, so Alice has a friend, that's neat. Let's expose Mary to some culture. I like it.
"Cute? /Him/? ///REALLY?///" Alice. Girl...
Hersch asked Mary! Good! Look at them bumble around like newborn fawns together. The fact that it specifically calls that she isn't using her power, too? Ughhhh!!! so cute
Combat training. Roy v Chad always, and then other combat partners. Nick keeps getting shut down for being mouthy, I think it's cute. Ugh. I could break him.
Roy getting continuously beat is so good. He's got that spirit though. Oh, Roy manifested to protect Herschel? That's adorable! I love all the little flashbacks. Ugh. Ugh!!! This is so emotionally investing!
Mary said "ya got daddy issues and you're taking it out on us" and Roy said "fuck off!" nice. Chad still wants to spar, what a... A Chad, I guess.
Parents weekend? Ooh. Tfw only two people in your dorm have parents that care. Sasha is so cute. I hope she doesn't die or something.
"Nick go hang out with Alice." "Fuck off." "Please?" "Fine." And he's having *fun* dammit. Even if he's getting shoes thrown at him.
Nick's got his... Bouncer? Mary has her parents, Hersch has his mom, and poor Alice is stuck hanging out with her dad who didn't actually come for her.
Nick wanted Vince to come along! Aw, baby BOY. Vince is just so nice.
"For a conman you sure have a strict moral code." Go comfort Alice, oh my goddd she's gonna cry dude! Look at her she's got anxiety!!!!!
Ohhhh my god he's putting on the fucking WILES. He's so!!! She's gonna collapse oh my god. No glasses too!!! Aaaaugh???
"We've only been together for a few minutes and you already know I'm into the kinky shit." "I am going to k i l l you." Fake dating ends me ends me ends me. I think I like them so much because I already write Essentially This Dynamic with mine and my friend's OCS. It's ridiculous.
Transport asking Vince to eat so he isn't alone. Hrghrhhrm.... adorable.
Ma Daniels, a competent woman after my own heart.
Date went solid, Alice is starting to /flutter/. Nick is solidly in denial that he likes his friends, or will call them his friends at all. Ugh.
Dean Blaine sounds like how I imagine Vice Principal Goldenhoard from d20. Big booming voice.
Chad isn't hangin out huh? Wild. Anyway Roy got slutshamed. Swag.
Part 2 officially complete.
Asking Mary out! There's some Otome game ass music in the background. I'm half expecting to hear a soft /Doki Doki!/
Everyone is just like "oh my fucking god FINALLY" lmao
Nick is playing into his avoidant streak, thinking he's going to make Alice hate him when really she's just going to get jealous. Wild play. It's Bubbles! She's cute. Poor thing is gonna get her heart broken.
Here's the point where I got into the car so imma speed summarize.
Alice getting a surprise birthday party was adorable! The Melbrooks really went all out and I'm glad, she deserves it. I was so wowed by Nick's gift that I audibly said "this is so cute I'm going to puke". What else... Vince has some sort of sexual trauma, inchresting. Ranged practice was before that and I? Am just so. Hmm, about Nick's upbringing. Three? You learned to shoot at three? I knew he was faking immediately, it reminded me of the scene in spiderverse where Miles gets every answer wrong on purpose. Vince cast chain lightning. Michaels got a drinking and ego problem.
Anyway, it's lake trip time. My impending sense of doom is building. Something is going to go wrong, I can feel it. There's no way finals will come THAT easy.
That will be all for today.

How to stumble climb in RTA according to me, a filthy but devoted casual lol
Tumblr media
Disclaimer. This meta is so hard and unfair, HOWEVER, its also a boon to newer/mid tier players because the good thing about banshee and bruiser gang is that your stats do not matter as much as your draft and comp. So dont be discouraged, you can do this!
I’m gonna try to keep this post short, but first hot tip: RTA seasons last 12 weeks/83 days (average) so if you JUST want the skin, you dont actually have to reach Masters til mid-late february~ You have time!
My personal method to climb each season is to find a “default” draft that works 75-80% of the time, so i can draft/climb faster without thinking too much.
I draft from Neutral (units with few counters who work independently) to DPS so the enemy cannot guess my plan ahead of time, nor draft direct counters to me up front.
HOWEVER. Hot tip #2: your draft actually begins the moment you find an opponent and the game tells you who has first pick.
Consider this scenario: AOL exists. You have AOL and you plan on cleaving, AND you have first pick! Since you have first pick, why ban AOL when you can draft her yourself? By drafting her, you prevent the enemy from cleaving, while protecting your own cleave!
Scenario 2: you don’t have AOL, and you wanna cleave. You also didn’t get first pick. You should prooobably pre-ban AOL lol
Personally, I ban Belian by default because I have literally no way to counter her (she’s so unfair lol) and I also depend too much on souls in my current drafts. Who you ban is up to you.
The best first pick depends on you and your account. But if you have her, I highly suggest first picking A Ravi because she’s a strong unit, works independently, and has no real direct counters except maybe Rimuru.
The more you fight in RTA tho, the easier it will be to think up your drafts, you’ll find what works for you. This is the benefit to climbing early, but its up to you. For now, here’s what i personally do
Full bruiser gang (maybe this is enough to get you to masters?): Pre-Ban Belian; First picks: A Ravi, ML Celine. Next picks: Rem, Violet, Maid Chloe, F Ceci.
Pros and Pogs: pre banning belian gives you souls, A Ravi+ML Celine+Maid Chloe is triple revive. No matter who gets banned, you will survive a long battle. Rem is the most unfair unit in the game imo, great default pick lol. Rem+Violet for maximum annoyance, hit violet, she counters, hit her, she still counters, focus on her, violet will kill you. And you still have to deal with Maid and Ravi. F Ceci on aurias for mitigation or elbris for maximum rng hell is also helpful here.
Up in champion my draft is a bit different now but if youre trying to just get to masters, thats the team I’d start with. (My champion draft has changed to pre banning belian; ML Celine>Rem>Seaseria>Arby>Maid>etc; this is cuz in champion, people really have to account for Violet and A Ravi comps so I try to play a bit of mind games here lol)
Best meta units this season and some of their counters in parentheses
Belian (fuck belian lol i pre ban her cuz i have no answer to her, i hear ssb counters her but i dont see how dfkgjh if youve got her tho, draft her and just win! Elbris/counter belian is utterly broken lmao)
A Ravi (Counters: Rimuru when built well)
Violet (Counters: Seaseria; Carrot; Landy; Zahhak; stuns, rngesus)
Rimuru (why bring maid when you can just steal revive lol; Counters: fire units, rngesus, extinction his ass)
AOL (Politis, green Celine)
Rem (fuck Rem lol the most unfair unit in the game imo, if u have her, draft her. Counters: Landy; Violet; AOL; extinction her ass)
Specter Tenebria (her s1 can’t be countered and she has decrease cr, she’s also permanently stealth so the single target dps cant touch her; counters: any good cleave lol)
Landy for free s3 hits with no counter attacks. (Counters: any fire unit, good cleave, or A Ravi)
Seaseria (good against violets but dies to anything; AOL and any cleanser can erase her bombs, if you dont s3 on violet before he s2’s, he himself will cleanse, play wisely with her)
Arby (so many counters now BUT is an amazing last pick cuz the other stuff^ has specific counters so if the opponent didnt plan an arby counter, they usually either have to force ban him, or they die B))
Ran (so many counters, only draft for a seaseria opener if u wanna speed contest)
Politis: she’s good against anything with a non attack skill, bring her and abyssal crown for stuns. Bff’s with seaseria. Counters: everything if she doesnt stun/kill, especially rem lol)
ML Lilias (politis, AOL, bruiser meta; shes not as powerful as she seems, imo)
F Ceci (always a good neutral pick tho she has counters like Rem, AOL, etc. Aurias for mitigation or Elbris to annoy people with constant provokes like mine lol)
Tumblr media
Me losing to a silver cuz i fucked up and either got out sped by the enemy or solo’d by the violet/s tenny lol
Other hot tips i can offer:
Watch content creators play rta. That helped me a lot, idk if you have preferences for content creators, but i personally watch a lot of ydcb’s vods, goddoggos, and mango7roll, all of which are major help.
Finally, this is kinda to emphasize what i said earlier, but bruiser gang is your friend if you’re struggling cuz its much easier to make tanks/counters work than to pray for speed rolls. I actually shouldn’t ridicule my opponent up there cuz they could either be a low level player OR a champion player, cuz thats how rng heavy this meta is right now. It’s not always fair, but it goes to show you anyone, including my own plebeian self, can climb in this meta, so just dont give up ;w;<3

So what are your thoughts on S4 overall? I know you didn't care about the last season very much
my good friend @tlaloc​ asked for spoilers/if she should catch up on the show so I ended up writing a very long email with a summary of every episode in the season and my feelings on whether or not she should watch each one, so I’m just going to use that email as my answer here, anon!
401: The apocalypse is back, in pog form! They call the upcoming badness THE DEATH WAVE and it is literally a wave of fire we see it consuming some Egyptian grounders at the end of this episode so that's cool. Anyway this is a solid intro episode, kind of weird camera angles, but we set up Roan in charge, Clarke wants to save the world, Bellamy is attractive, etc. etc. I like this one.Watch: Yes
402: This episode is really weird because the big plot is about how they are gonna turn the Ark into a bunker to survive the upcoming DEATH WAVE and Bellamy takes a rag-tag bunch of misfits to some Ice Nation place to get a part they need, but then they discover they have SLAVES and Bellamy has to decide whether to get the part and leave the slaves or blow up the part to save the slaves. This was clearly meant to make Bellamy sympathetic again after the whole massacre thing, but by saving the slaves he reduced the savior capacity of the Ark from 500 people to 100 people so anyone who was still mad at Bellamy remained mad at Bellamy. Also Octavia starts murdering people, that's cool.Watch: Follow your heart
403: Bellamy and Clarke go on a road trip with Jaha because he found a new cult to be into on his iPad. Clarke has to make a list of 100 people who will survive the upcoming apocalypse. She cries about putting her own name on so Bellamy writes it for her. I don't care about anything else that happened. OH WAIT radiation is coming Luna shows up like dying of radiation but DOESN'T DIE dun dun dunWatch: I've seen this episode like eight times
404: OKAY NOW WE ARE GETTING INTO THE SHITTY MIDDLE OF THIS SEASON WHERE THE POINTS ARE MADE UP AND THE SCORES DON'T MATTER goddd anyway Monty and Jasper (oh btw Jasper was gonna kill himself before but found out that the world is ending anyway and was like COOL I CAN JUST WAIT so yeah) find the list and are like CLARKE THIS IS FUCKED UP YOU ARE NOT GOD Roan kidnaps Bellamy and finds out they are planning to keep the Ark just for themselves, Octavia gets shoved off a cliff, Bellamy gets told she's dead and is FUCKING HEART BREAKING and then all the tension is lost because they immediately reveal that she's alive, this will be a patternWatch: Eh
405: THIS EPISODE IS SUCH A GIANT WASTE like did you ever read the last twilight book where they are about to have a huge confrontation but then one of them can see the future and she sees how the fight would go so she's like nah we out? that's this episode. Bellamy figures out immediately that his sister is alive so they do nothing with ROCK BOTTOM GRIEF and then he has to talk this rando dude everyone acts like we care about (no seriously he is one of the slaves they saved in 402 and everyone is like YAY IT'S RILEY and makes a big deal and he is just a non-entity) out of murdering Roan and he does but it's a shitty speech also Echo is there being weird Echo is so weird this season I think they just want to have her around to date Bellamy if they chicken out of Bellarke ANYWAY Clarke and Roan agree that they will share the 100 spaces in the Ark, but then Ilian, the grounder who brought Octavia back, decides to set fire to the entire Ark and it burns up in a fiery explosion while Bellamy holds Octavia and and Clarke holds both of them and they're all like OUR HOME IS GONEWatch: Probably not
406: The Ark appears undamaged everyone is still hanging out living there it's SO WEIRD Clarke gets laid and stares at a picture of Lexa, Octavia tells Bellamy she hates him for killing Lincoln, which is the first we've heard of it since the season began, BUT THEN Clarke and Bellamy go on a pretty great roadtrip with Roan so Clarke can go to science island, where Raven and her mom are using Luna's blood to try to save people, bc nightbloods are immune to radiation. Also they need to go to space and are bringing rocket fuel. Bellamy definitely tries to tell Clarke he loves her on a river bank.Watch: Sure
407: OH this one is pretty great actually! Emori is a fucking badass on science island, Clarke is good, Bellamy has a GREAT storyline and also takes off his shirt. It's relatively plot light--black rain is coming and burning people, they need someone to test nightblood on probably--but a nicely done self-contained episode. This is also FINALLY when they start realizing what they need to do with Bellamy, which is shut up about the massacre and actually let him do good things.Watch: Yes!
408: This one is pretty meh. They spend the whole episode with Clarke having a moral crisis about using Emori to test nightblood, which is annoying because the moral stakes are fucked. Clarke ends up taking the nightblood herself at the last minute, which is theoretically fine, but they wanted it to be a twist ending so everyone kind of makes no sense up until then to make it happen. Also Abby immediately destroys the radiation chamber that they're gonna use to test if the nightblood really protects them from radiation so it doesn't matter anyway. Bellamy and Jasper go on a quick roadtrip to get drugs and then Bellamy gets drunk and probably laid, so good for you, buddy. Watch: Eh
409: This one was pretty boring IIRC? Mostly I remember that at the end Clarke tries to become commander and Roan shuts her down and decides they're gonna battle royale instead, and it was annoying on like every level. OH Jaha and Kane and Monty found a bunker by Polis where 1200 people can survive so they're taking all their people there, but Jasper and (randomly and stupidly) Harper and some other people decide they want to stay behind to die instead. Monty stays with them for friendship, but is planning to get to the bunker. The battle royale is one champion from each clan fighting, and the winning clan gets the bunker. That's their plan. It's not a great plan. Octavia's been off randomly having sex with Ilian and failing to be a farmer and she shows back up again to fight for skaikru. Her arc this season is a mess, but this is when it starts turning around. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with anything else she did this season. It just starts going in a better but ultimately random direction.Watch: Eh
410: THIS ONE IS GREAT I was so ready to hate it but they do a good job with the battle royale. Luna shows up to be like IF I WIN YOU ALL DIE bc she's mad at basically everyone, which they don't quite sell, but it spooks Clarke bc Luna is an amazing fighter. Bellamy's like, listen Octavia you are not actually a baller you need to hide until most people are killed, and they follow through on that. Ilian saves her (and dies, you were v pointless, Ilian), and then Roan rethinks Clarke's "we should form an alliance" and forms an alliance with her. Bellamy has to stop Echo cheating and has a GREAT scene with Roan. Octavia eventually does win and I actually believed it, and she says they'll share the bunker equally, which was kind of annoying bc it was literally what Clarke wanted to do, but then it turns out Clarke and Jaha STOLE THE FUCKING BUNKER and also knocked Bellamy out to get him inside before they sealed it. which was SUCH A GREAT TWIST and I was so pumped but unfortunately, next episodeWatch: YES
411: OKAY so like this episode had a lot of individually good parts, but REALLY refused to pick a fucking lane with Clarke, to its detriment. There was great Blake sibling stuff, good Bellamy stuff, but Clarke was just kinda like "eh idk what to do" and really wishy-washy because they wanted this dramatic moment of her pointing a gun at Bellamy, which was fine, but then they had zero follow-up on that. BUT there was a great Raven subplot (Raven is dying of an ALIE brain tumor, I forgot to mention) where she talks to ghost Sinclair in her head and chooses life and I love it. But unfortunately there is ALSO the Jasper subplot where he gets all the kids but Monty and Harper to commit mass suicide and it was majorly triggering for a friend of mine. So, uh, yeah. Anyway in the end Bellamy unseals the bunker and lets the grounders in and O takes charge and tells them they have to pick 100 people for their slots and everyone else dies.Watch: ????????
412: MOST PEOPLE LIKED THIS EPISODE MORE THAN I DID I found the main plot pretty boring it was just Jaha being THE WORST and being like WE FOUND THIS BUNKER WE SHOULD GET SLOTS FOR ALL OUR PEOPLE and stirring shit as they tried to perform a lottery to pick slots. Eventually Kane talks him down and they gas all their own people and just use Clarke's list of 100 people to survive from 403 to pick. Whomp whomp. Meanwhile Clarke and Bellamy are kinda awks but it doesn't last long and he flirts so hard with her he commits vehicular manslaughter, which is hilarious, but Clarke's arc is such a fucking mess this season. ANYWAY they're on a road trip to get Raven that (of course) goes wrong, they end up with eight people on science island who have to go BACK TO SPACE to surviveWatch: Probably yeah
413: COUNTDOWN TO DEATH WAVE this was a good one, tight, single-plot with the kids at science island trying to get the spaceship working. Bellamy and Clarke were A LOT but they also made sure Bellamy had some shiptease stuff with Raven and Echo, I assume in case they decide not to go Bellarke. Clarke ends up having to stay behind on earth to get everyone else out, but because of her nightblood she survives. Bellamy thinks he left her to die on earth and is super sad. Then we get SIX YEAR TIME JUMP Clarke has a cute haircut and adopted a grounder and has been calling Bellamy EVERY DAY even though he can't hear her she just talks to him anyway and she SPOTS A SHIP and thinks it's them but of course it's a MYSTERIOUS OTHER SHIP DUN DUN DUNWatch: For sure
And that's what you missed on Glee! Overall I think S4 was better than S3 but the pacing was AWFUL and they kept just setting shit up and botching the delivery. I'm honestly pretty excited about the timeskip for S5 and I am looking forward to a hiatus full of angsty BELLAMY THINKS CLARKE IS DEAD fic like damn

FF6 (Characters)
Tumblr media
You can name most of the characters (playable ones anyway) but I kept some because I liked them. Trust me, I'm listing a bunch of characters but don't assume that it's too many because somehow, someway, this game knows how to balance them and make most of them pretty interesting. You can also only have four in your party at one time and are made interchangeable for the most part, so there's that.
A lot of these characters come with their own side-quests and other than venturing off the beaten path to get a specific set of armor or a weapon, the characters are actually most of the side-quests so they feel natural and apart of the story but not so much so that it feels empty "without" them or forced "with" them. The other "quests" I guess I'll call them are mainly collecting magicites. I didn't do every single one and I won't list EVERYTHING but the ones that I didn't do and that actually had story, I just looked up afterwards.
Terra. She reminds me a lot of Gwen from Ben 10: AF/UA because she's the last natural magic user and has a form much like Gwen's mana form. It basically boils down to that she was brainwashed by the empire, finds out her parents' backstory and wonders if love is possible for her like it was for them.
Locke. He had a girl that he liked named Rachel but he failed to protect her so she's kept in stasis, surrounded by flowers until he finds a way to save her. He's also a treasure hunter and he has the ability to take items from different enemies, sometimes useful armor, sometimes some heal items, heck while he's back there rummaging around in the enemy's drawers, he even does some damage.
Gau, who I called Tachi. He's more gameplay than story because he's just a kid, a homeless kid who lives out in the wild, leaps around and talks like Tarzan. His ability though...when you first meet him, you let him join you by giving him some food (dried meat, his favorite) and then once he joins your party, he has the ability to learn an enemy's moveset, which you only have to do a little bit to really gain any traction. So let me say just how powerful that makes him. The bomb is a consistent enemy in the FF series, not the most powerful but one that can self destruct. Imagine taking that self-destruct and turning it into a weapon for maximum damage and once you set which enemy's moveset you want to use for the battle, you don't have to do it anymore! So he'll just keep rolling whatever move is best and keep attacking without you telling him to! He might seem weaker in the end game territory but when you first find him and learn how to use him properly and level him up, he's quite the character.
Cyan. I saw his face and thought "Cyan" because I wanted a character named after a color but despite never seeing him before, I looked down at his preset name "Cyan". It was meant to be! He has these attacks called "Bushido" where you get to pick 1-8 (once you unlock them, that is) and it makes him do a special move. They're pretty powerful and if you know an enemy's weakness, you can really get some good combos in. His story more or less starts off with a blank slate because you see his whole kingdom die at the hands of Kefka poisoning the river (which then poisoned the air) and his story doesn't even neccessarily imply revenge, it's just stopping Kefka and his forces so that stuff like that doesn't happen again, and having the Returners' (what this whole group is called) cause basically acting as a magnet for him, how could he not? I definitely suggest his sidequest, it's one of the more meaty ones so it's got some story to chew on, it's not an easy quest though so if anything just look it up.
King Edgar, who I called Gap. He was easily one of if not the most consistent member of my party and for one major reason. His tools. He has all these tools that you can equip and I'm here for all of them. He has a drill that does major damage but only to one lucky customer. He has a crossbow which does damage to all enemies at the same time. He has a noise blaster which turns the enemies the other way and keeps them from attacking until they take a set amount of damage. He has a bioweapon, which is effective against any living creatures (that's pretty inhumane to think about so I didn't really use that). And even more! Other than that, he's king of Figaro so he gives you a discount if you're there and he's the head of your party. He's pretty clever.
Sabin, who I called Banana. (Get it? Because his brother is the Gap and he's the Banana Republic? Haha, yellow hair.) I didn't use him very much because he has this cool power called a "Blitz" where you press the D-pad buttons for certain combinations like a fighting game. The problem is, that most of the time I would use it, it would say "invalid input" despite doing it correctly, a drawback of using an emulator I'm sure. Getting his final blitz is pretty fun though because it's literally just a circle (which the emulator was fine with)
Shadow, who I called Sneak (short for Sneaker kukukuku). And his dog, Interceptor (you don't get to choose his name) but he's a bounty hunter, no more, no less...Ok, for real though, they lead you on to think that and then if you choose to save him, they start showing who's really behind the mask.
Celes. She's probably my favorite, her story is quite involved because she was an imperial (a general at that) who was imprisoned for being a traitor because she questioned Kefka's authority when he poisoned the river. That isn't outright stated but it is the reason, so Locke comes to the rescue before she gets executed. We come to find out that she's a magic user too but she's artificial, she was infused with it. (more on that later) But using that she plays directly into Terra's story and since Locke found her and saved her, he starts to get a bit of a crush.
Setzer, the only character from this game that was in Kingdom Hearts. He's a gambler (and a past Struggle champion, mind you!) but he has an airship and man is that thing fast! I think there's an item you can use to fast travel but I never used it, never really needed to. The only complaint I have about that is that there isn't a tracker (that I know of) so if you wander off, you could lose where you landed it. But Setzer's quite suave, I like his backstory with Darill. He has a slot option which I've seen in some of the other games, it's nothing too drastic but it's alright, I do feel it's more randomized than you actually picking though. Even if he's mainly there just for a means to travel, I couldn't help but like his character and feel like he's a part of the group.
Kefka, the villain. He's not the one that infused Celes with her power but he ordered it so imagine what he's been doing with his other lackeys. To himself. He's an oddball because his laugh is creepy and he does evil stuff but when you fight him, he just sets his minions on you and is actually weak in comparison He runs away despite trying to keep up his ego with some excuse. But they build him up and he gets stronger and eventually you gain control of a character who is quite powerful, they show you this power and how he's stronger than the rest of your team then have Kefka win. That's smart but he's still pretty silly ("But he's a clown!" to which I say "I know this!") But I feel like the ending was kind of sudden, like the build up was there but he didn't really do much other than "be a boss" it was more what he had already done by that point. I guess most of the FF games I've played have done that though for one reason or another.
Strago, who I called Mungo. He has the ability of "Lore" and honestly I don't have a lot to say about him, there isn't much to him and I didn't use him much but I named him! That counts for something! (But I also named Mog "Pog" so...)
Relm, who I called Reij. She's Mungo's granddaughter and an artist, she sketches the picture of whatever's in front of her then copies its ability (similar to Tachi). She's cute but I didn't use her too often either because I found her to be kind of weak. Maybe I just didn't give her the right equipment but she's a nice side character, I liked her role for the boss in Owzer's mansion, pretty cool. (She's also pretty good on enemies that have the "death" ability)
