okay unironically I love so much that porter is like this world SUCKS its BAD here and it HURTS you why do you care abt it!!! and literally every single bad kid is like ngl we just hate ur ass it does not matter what ur philosophy is

#dimension 20 #fantasy high junior year #not art #fhjy spoilers #its!!! gods I will Be My Ass in the tags rn. but thats so like. deliciously setting typical #like porter's desire is to transcend and his contempt for the world he's in feels. idk Real #like he plays the game bc he wants to win and be done with it. how do I word this #yknow. being a god would like. be his win state. when he gets that happening thats it his story is done he checks out #meanwhile the bad kids do actually just like playing the game lmao. like they love adventuring! #theyre so solidly Of This World. they carry the values that can only be born of it and they like having mastery over it #its a meta angle that I think is very fun specifically for d20 being in such a unique position in the zeitgeist when it first started #the rat grinders are from DnD Writ Large. porter wants to escape. but this is the bad kids' home its Their Actual Play Show #which makes it so fucking excellent to me that porter's question is somewhat of merit! its their show and it tries very hard to punish them #and they just straight up dont listen to him here lmao bc they hate him but! since the moment the academic track ended its been clear #that they save the world bc they Like Playing. With Each Others #thats what riz thinks the core of adventuring is! thats why fig stayed! and I also think thats why this hovers over elmville now and #a dead god is coming back in the school gym. porter is a shit evangelist but even if hes a good one I dont think it wouldve worked like he #wants it to. the only way he couldve escaped is if he'd not involved elmville at all. thats where the bad kids met dude #its a shitty place that fucks with them but they all come back here bc they wanna play with each others #and in that regard I think thats what the stress tokens ultimately means. Is This Game Still Fun To Play. ITS A RAGEQUIT LIMIT #Im literally running from one end to another of this conspiracy board Ive pulled out of nowhere #Ill draw after this I just wanna get this out. gods this episode has done nothing but furthering my delusion of grandeur actually #Im the hottest smartest manthing on earth Im king fucking midas over here. anyways uh! great ep!

someone else could write it better than me but i love how the fucked up nasty shit you can make harry do/say/be in disco elysium isn't just like, random stuff caused simply by the player having free will and control over him but they're parts of who he is and who he has been

you're not a tabula rasa. you're a sudden shock of blank pages in a big, aged, damaged book and sometimes the paper you're trying to write a better man on is torn and you see something through the gaps nobody needed to see ever again. and it's just there now again, back to the surface

#sorry for some reason i feel like i write about DE better in tags than the post. idk why. TAG ESSAY AHEAD. #the gap between tags is a nigh irreplacable form of punctuation #to me #anyway #the one that really got me thinking was how failing an authority check can make you call kim a racial epithet #even if you've played a vocally anti-racist harry up to that point #that line feels like the underbelly of a calving iceberg you were never meant to see #floating to the surface as the whole thing turns and rights itself #the joyous moment is over. the celebrations end #you stop dancing and you step outside with kim #you can profusely apologise #but that thing #that piece of harry before he forgot everything #it doesn't come out of nowhere #nobody just randomly blurts out something like that #it crests the surface #and then it's just... gone again #under the waves #disco elysium #dibi

Natural team dynamic progression over stream for Blue team (Soulfire) [Day One of purgatory]:

Split into two main groups—

Farming/base-bound: Tina, Missa, Lenay, Niki

Fighters/Runners: Bad, Tubbo, Pierre

Tubbo is main official leader, and Bad and Tina have been acting as co-leaders per their groups for the most part. Tina had been the biggest support leader and the main person keeping morale up within the group-- Missa, Lenay, and Niki being her main supply runners/farmers that she distributed tasks through. Pierre has become main runner who turns in missions, while Tubbo and Bad run distraction. Majority of plans are thought up by Tina, Bad, Tubbo, and Pierre, and are run through Tubbo before execution.

They’ve maintained lead the entire stream for the most part.

#qsmp #this is mostly my personal tracking so I can keep note of character dynamics #I find it really interesting how natural leadership progresses #and Tina has been MVP in keeping them all tied together #she checks in continuously esp on the quiet members like niki missa and lenay #she is the backbone of their opporations handling all farming management and tasks #without her they’d have nothing to turn in #I’m so proud of her lol I didn’t know Tina before qsmp but I would die for her #this is not without noting other members moments like missa getting apples and lenay getting dirt #niki has been fueling them too #bad and Tubbo have been PVP heavy to protect Pierre and do their best to keep close ranks #Tubbo in particular killed a lot of people. probably the most out of all the team #and bad tends to play tubbos close backup #Pierre also had a moment where he snuck in and turned in a BUNCH of missions unprotected #everyone’s done a good job!! they are a very cohesive team #esp with a lot of players not usually present on the server

The panel in question:

#twisted wonderland #twst #this is inspired by my sister's reaction to the panel before I explained how the scene plays out in book 3. she then found it funnier #this is a joke no hate to those unaware of the scene in Book 3 #Ace had too much rizz in that scene he rolled a nat 20 for Charisma what an icon #rizz in a nonromantic sense that is #this is one of the best Ace moments actually I think everyone should check it out

I finished act 2 again, but properly this time. and I cannot even begin to put into words how satisfying and beautiful all of that was. I loved act 2 the first time I played, but figuring out how to save the last light this time, properly completing halsin's quest, storming moonrise towers with jaheira and her harpers, seeing aylin reunite with isobel...all of it. I love it even more. and the beginning of act 3 feels all the more rewarding, having fixed my past errors.

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #thoughts about media #that was. incredible. I can't believe I missed so much the first time I played. #but at least having messed up the first time gives me a greater appreciation for the full story. #I did the “lift the shadowcurse” quest SO assbackwards last time I missed like. 90% of halsin's act 2 dialogue. #he IS cute. I am just STUPID. and learned nothing from dunking on gale before- when that was ALSO my own colossal mistake. #jaheira also gets such a badass moment of glory if her harpers as still alive. if you lose last light like I did before... #...god the assault on moonrise feels so...depressing. I felt so fucking bad for her the first time I played. #but I thought that you couldn't save isobel! and that's just what was supposed to happen! fool was I! #oh and if your tav fails the perception check on mizora when she first sends wyll to rescue zariel's asset- HE renegotiates his contract! #which I like better? I like when the companions get to choose their own fate! I like wyll taking a stand for himself! it was awesome! #and well. if corydalis used his outrageous charisma stat to push mizora into giving wyll a funky new sword? that's just friendship <3 #the relationship between aylin and isobel is beautiful. I'm so happy that I replayed to save isobel. I much prefer seeing aylin happy :) #barcus. barcus. barcus. I want to criticise you but I'm in love with astarion so. can I really talk??? #well maybe /I/ can't. but corydalis is Aware and playing mental manipulation chess with astarion. out of pure intent. but still. #join our polycule barcus. please. we will treat you better. I promise <3333 #anyways. not ready for the buggiest part of the game again. but at least I know what's going on this time.

Okay, I need to know how Sparrow's job was saved by Boreas. What did he do that let her win the case?

Also, was there a reaction from the High class Ancients as for why Boreas was defending Sparrow?

Boreas' involvement with the case was all very hush hush. he reached Deep into his big macho core to pull out some of that feminine manipulation and planning skills (oh wow he has those) and called up Sparrows. with her, he was all genuine and gentle for once. cuz she was all stressed, her eyes were puffy from crying cuz she just doesn't know how to save this (she studied as a Mechanic not a Lawyer, goddammit!!! she doesn't know this! neither do i so gimbe a break if anythin) and he admitted to himself that "alright Three Sparrows can be a part of the family, the girl is now my responsibility to keep safe" those two years ago

so he tells her that he has a plan. it shall be based from the truth- she trusted Euros with telling her about things like that, she was "too" kind- but we shall spin it even further without revealing your two's relationship. Boreas kind of played the role of her lawyer, basically

the main key was getting some evidence to back up the claims that Three Sparrows on a Wire is far too empathetic when interacting with Iterators. Boreas guided Sparrows to call upon her old teachers/school for evidence of that (and also then to show off her good grades to prove that she Is competent). the evidence, of course, ends up being all the footage of her lessons and tests that's saved in Boreas' memory since he has his consciousness in the entirety of the facilities and the city. he IS the security system of himself

now, taking out things from Boreas' memories isn't such an uncommon thing. it is invasive and typical Iterators don't have to go thru this, but he does. accessing him like this is usually done for quite recent things to prove a crime or smth, however. Sparrows attended the school like 40 years ago so it requires a Deep Dive into his memories and oh he HATES that. so That's a little sacrifice he does for her sake. opens his mind up to smth like that and lets people dig through him for the required footage without trying his damnest to be inconvenient like usually

with this memories combing thing also comes being a lil shady about stuff like this, too (needs to keep his memories of spending time with Zephyr a secret from his Houses). so he helps Euros falsify some of his own memories to make himself look worse and Sparrows better (cuz what can they do against their Own Iterator? they won't reset/wipe him over This)

and so all of this proves that Sparrows was sort of a damsel in distress in the Rot situation and got bitten terribly because of being a Good person. they can't fire her for being just a good person! that would look bad in their little religious community!!!! so she gets off with the warning/requirement to be sharper and... more merciless/meaner (they say "strict") while interacting with Euros i suppose

n das how Boreas bails her out!

#Spot says stuff #rw #oc tag #boreas n sparrows r especially fascinating to me cuz like! boreas has known her longest out of the anemoi iterators. she has forged Some- #-kind of bond to him before anyone else really. their relationship goes through the most drastic changes from boreas lightly bullying her- #-during her school days to Almost managing to kill her and be her first death and then it ends with him letting her teach him how to sing- #-and even check up on his puppet's internal systems. he hasn't had a check up in Centuries. everyone just counts on his self-sufficiency #one of sparrows favorite songs is iris covered by chris lanzon. she once plays it through her phone while hanging out with boreas n they- #-just. end up sitting side by side sharing a quiet moment while they listen to a sad song. it helps forging a certain kinship between the 2 #their journey is so fascinating to me n seein Boreas lettin himself open up n care for n hide under his chlamys an ancient is... wow... #hes the angry guy!! hes supposed to be the mad sharp one! but then he softly pulls her against his side because shes shivering and like oh #-slaps the top of me blog- dis do be full of euros but fun fact my favorite child is still boreas

Sydrichie systems slowing down. It’s the long stretch hibernation for S3. Thinking abt all the possible new content we’ll be getting by then

Heading back to my roots

#everytime I think abt the fact that there’s a scene of them checking out at the hardware store #my lungs crackle like a pringles can being put through a flattener #I needed the shots of him looking up @ the officer asking abt manslaughter charges #he looks angelic. humanely worn out but he’s got those precious moments eyes #Sydney goes without saying. every day that Ayo walks the earth I get to know we share the same ozone layer #THAT PUFFER WAS ALWAYS SO CURE I WANT ONE SO BADLY winter here I come #it’s gonna put me in debt. I’m on indeed for a night job quick someone help me lie on my resume #gold chain bracelet. bet he calls it a wrist-let. man-let. loser man I love u #the fact that he’s collecting crumpled bills. Sydney’s getting her cards out. they’re both on(in the depths of) the brink of debt #probably fought over paying despite both of them not being set #I’m gnawing on bones here I’m Unwell over them #the bear #richie jerimovich #sydney adamu #their chemistry is playing tic tac to on my neurons & producing dopamine everytime they even glance at each other #SPEAKING WITH THEIR EYES!! SPEAKING VOLUMES W/O A WORD #also… hand size difference oo

just realized that the reason I actually like L S Dunes despite it being a much rougher sound than I usually enjoy is because every single one of their songs sounds like a beautiful child born via osmosis of my beloved beloved Accident Prone

#me listening to it takes time: wow he plays the bass like it's a guitar #me listening to accident prone for the first time in months: OH. #just had an italicized oh moment about *checks notes* a somewhat mcr adjacent emo dad band #actually the reason I started listening to dunes was bc I read about the story behind it takes time and went ''huh. that's an insane #way to write a song for your friend. I should listen to that'' #and then it blew my heckin glasses of. it is in fact an insane thing to write for a friend. like ok go off then I guess!!!! sure!!!! okay!! #and then I listened to the entire album and somehow that music has the exact crunchiness of a mid70s film #I can't make out 75% of what the guy is singing but hey the music sounds REALLY REALLY GOOD. I'm eating it #Lu rambles #music

People are drawing Luzu / Arin fanart again and connecting him to the latest theories, nature is healing 🫶

#i talk #qsmp talk #I swear is Luzu doesn't log in tomorrow he might as well be canonically dead at this point #BUT I HAVE FAITH!!! #I SAY THROUGH GRITTED TEETH #bro it breaks my heart that he never got the chance to bond with the original members more #or even MEET the others #Luzu is one of the best roleplayers out there and he is SUCH a good storyteller #also he plays the COOLEST characters and hes not afraid to play the role of a villain and go HARD if that's where his narrative goes #I miss cubito Luzu man... #anyways do check out that art because it SLAPS and also I 100% think it's connected #all my theories are being influenced by my wishes at the moment but that's ok. I'm allowed to be a little hopeful and a little delusional

whats tough about like. Having Chemistry and spending time with someone at the start of the spring semester is that valentines day is coming up and its like a make or break point with what you may or may not Be and you have to question what direction things are headed in and its a pressure just Not present in the fall semester idk. idk

#we uhhhh. kinda hit a bump in the road ...... idk. #hes. been very gentle and kind and understanding about where im coming from and so we havent talked in a couple days but just .... #god ok fuck it. we were hanging out saturday night and at some point we were going somewhere where parking sucked so i just suggested we go #in his car rather than separate bc finding parking for ONE car is a Struggle. anyways so afterwards we went back to where i parked my car #and i hahahhaaaaa was NOT leaving. it was just past midnight and so we were just hanging in his car talking for abt an hour #in there at some point i told him about that last crush and how it dragged on and he was like jesus CHRIST sia thats a lot #i was reclined in my seat and shutting my eyes listening to the music and i caught him looking at me a couple times andddddd uh #yeah basically i ended up in his lap and then we were kissing and touching and grinding for like the next hour and a half #and he asked if i wanted to go back to my place and i was like uhhhhhhhhhhhh not now so we stayed in there and just made out & talked more #and then he TOLD me. basically hes in a similar situation i was in this time last year. like a girl he liked and was talking to actually #has a bf. hes sorta in limbo and she still talks to bim and is stringing him along and playing off his hopes theyll get together for. #entertainment ig. everyone at this school is fantastic btw. jesus fucking christ. #so yeah he told me bc he said he didnt wanna hurt me or end up fucking me over and that i deserved full honesty and didnt want to get my #hopes up. which i REALLY appreciate. we talked for 8 days he got carried away once and immediately owned up. i do appreciate that #so like. he said that we can just be friends with or without benefits and i said id think about it. then at like 3 am we went home and he #check in with me to make sure i was alright since he could tell i had a LOT on my mind. i said id call him the next day and so we talked #and basically i explained the reason for my apprehensions and why i said no to hooking up (csa) and he was really understanding #and then like. i just asked him more about what was going through his head the night before & he described it as a heat of the moment thing #(which i agree it was) and like. he was genuinely concerned about me tho. idk #i told him that after i got home i had to shower for an hour scrubbyat every place he touched me and that im tired of feeling used #and he really heard me out and listened. he also asked if he hurt me and i said no but it def could have gotten to that point and i #and so he said 'im sorry for making your life at all hafrder to deal with' and i REALLY really #appreciate him being as honest as he was. so i said its cool we can be friends but i just need some space rn & he once again was really #understanding & said 'for as long as you need. just let me know whenever youre ready to just be friends again & if you need me to stay sway #from [xyz places we hung out] just let me know and if you need anything for class just feel free to reach out' #and. GOD i appreciate him. so that convo closed out on good terms. i was worried id need WEEKS but it rlly was just a few hours after that #i was ok again. traumas all about narratives and before that convo all i could see was another instance i was usee but like. #after actually talking it out all the fear around it dissipated and i can just see it for what it was: 2 friends who got carried away #but i really REALLY appreciate how hes handled this and we're both single & attracted to each other and so the question im thinking now is: #crushposting

[suchscary]

So I recently picked up a game called Project Zomboid, and while it activates all my old prepper/survivalist neurons I haven't used in years, you might also enjoy it. I've never played The Sims, but people often describe it as "The Sims with zombies."

Plus, the "This Is How I Died" trailer is pretty cool.

Ooh, never heard of this game before, it looks fascinating! But again, I don't like the genre that much (though to be fair, I only played, like, one survival game), but I'll keep this game in mind!

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAAHAHAHA

#ask #I am in fact a huge fan of the sims (sims 2 specifically) but I like it more as an interactive dollhouse #as in. I play my sims and create the stories and dialogues in my head #I'm currently playing overlord (2007) and heroes of might and magic 6 and I don't really want to pick new games up at the moment #and well... also I need to finish warhammer 40k buuut while I enjoyed dawn of war the normal amount I find winter assault rather boring #maybe I should skip it and play dark crusade right away #I wanna play as the necro skelly race #heehee this reminds me that back when I was like 5 and watched my older brother play wh40k he pronounced 'dark crusade' as 'darkle sade' #uh.
