What I think is really funny is the fact even though we are out as a system on Tumblr, we are not officially out on Twitter yet

But we still use the royal "we" super casually on there, so like...every time we slip that into our tweets, we wonder how long it will be before someone manages to guess what is really going on hashjfshgkshgshgsh

You know cause from their perspective it probably just looks like a singlet using the royal we for no apparent reason, but then like there's literally multiple people in this head ahaha...

Honestly a big part of the reason we do this is just because...well, we do not really like making a big deal of “coming out” officially and all that. We would rather just naturally exist as ourself, and maybe just casually mention our plurality whenever it becomes relevant. You know what we mean?

some misc feelings about Yu Shisan after rewatching the last few episodes:

I just wonder if Yu Shisan was thinking that at least NYZ and RRY will still have each other after he dies

compared to how he is alone, left behind by his brothers, one after another (because he cant bring himself to accept Chu Yue's feelings, compared to how secure NYZ and RRY are in their relationship)

Yu Shisan losing his eyesight hurts the most given that his primary weapon/main weapon of choice is a crossbow.

(although him using a spear in that final scene is pretty badass).

I am once again Obsessed with the cyberpunk genre but I’m therefore once again Annoyed with the worldbuilding of the genre being just all over the place and whack and I’m 🤏 this close to just homebrewing a cyberpunk setting about it

#I have been thinking about how to fix hacking in a cyberpunk game ALL WEEK #my next topic is to try and figure out how to make the geopolitics of cyberpunk less Like That #rose's ramblings

Hey who wants to hear me ramble about deific title bullshit? No? Dont click through the readmore then.

Alright now that we've weeded out those nerds time to ramble about Flow and Fate and why they're both BULLSHIT

Aight.

So, Fate is the Aspect of the Negative of Choice, but what the FUCK does that mean?

Simple, really! Fate is about Predestination, Fixed Paths, and Progression. A god/dess of Fate's main gimmick is that, to greater or lesser extent depending on title, they can see the next step(s) that will need to be taken to bring about their desired outcome, almost like a cooking recipe. And much like a cooking recipe, a lot of the times various bits of context for why you're doing this action will be left out because the writer assumed it would be obvious when you got to that step.

So, for example, a Champion Demigod of Fate whose Goal is "Survive this fight", will typically see the next 1-3 actions they MUST take to bring about the quickest and simplest ending of the fight that results in their survival (and usually at least one of those steps is gonna be "run the fuck away" for the vast majority of fights because that's the quickest and most direct way to end a fight in your survival). On the other hand, if their Goal is "Protect [whatever]", they'll be constantly led along in a sequence of exactly what steps will lead to them being in the way of the next attempt to damage whatever they're protecting, though not necessarily in a way that's pleasant for them, if protecting the thing is more expedient by allowing themself to be hurt.

To explain it a bit differently, Fate will always show you the most direct path, but by no means is this guaranteed to be the *best* path. There are ways, thought tricks to resolve better paths, but there's generally a trade-off, in that the more specific of an outcome you want, the less steps you get to see in advance.

Now, to contrast this, we have Flow, the Positive Aspect of Momentum, which probably sounds weird but it's a bit hard to explain in fewer words.

Flow is all about constant change and buildup. Flow is Motion, yours and that of everything around you. If you're at all familiar with Water Style supernatural martial arts, you probably understand what I'm getting at: once you begin, it's critical that you keep the ball rolling, and the longer the metaphor ball is rolling, the more your actions will be amplified, if that makes sense.

To better illustrate this, the signature ability of Flow is a passive effect colloquially called "It Just Don't Stop", which resets all your cooldowns whenever you use another ability (or for some of the more potent powers, just shaves a big chunk off of the cooldown).

All Gods/Demigods/Heroes/etc of Flow will possess this ability, and they'll also possess an intuitive grasp of how everything moves around them. One would best compare this ability to a somewhat juiced up spidey sense, a semi-precognitive preternatural awareness of Things about to come into Motion.

Now the main downside to Flow, is that all their abilities are reset back to their absolute weakest the minute their metaphorical combo ends and they fail to chain in another action of some kind. If the ball stops rolling, it takes a bit of effort to get it moving again, and once again I must emphasize that all of the abilities of a Flow user are tied to their metaphorical momentum.

Where Fate all but lives for punching out of their weight class, Flow can't get away with that because it *will* grind their Momentum to a halt if they can't take them out in one go, and even if they do it'll still severely penalize their Momentum all the same because it'll expend a lot of that built up energy.

To put frame it a little different, on a maze with multiple valid paths but only one exit, Fate will tell you outright "this is the shortest path, follow it", where Flow will actively want to take the longest possible path, because that path will bring them the highest Momentum buildup along the way.

I thought things would be better with her, seeing her in person again after so long. But things are still so messy. She needs psychological help and I'm tired of being the one who takes care of her

NSOTF OCs

My Next Sound of the Future OC concepts, since I have brainrot. I used the serial code generator for each one of them and my idea is Egao Productions which is run by a Kaai Yuki named Niji asking her father who is a Kyoteru named Ray for everything but the CEO being a Sachiko module named Nana who does all of the legal stuff like paperwork and things a 9 year old can’t do. The concept behind Egao Productions is a goal to make child and family friendly content with the slogan “Let’s make the world smile, one step at a time”. Egao Productions create music, movies, TV shows & stage productions featuring several android modules as the stars. Their main talent groups are a tokusatsu themed group called Rainbow Brigade and the cast for an adventure and camp themed children's show called Sunshine Scouts. I’m still brainstorming but here’s my notes about it so far and a doodle of Rabu the Gumi.

I remember thinking that it was an unfair battle. Some were fighting as teams and he was like... alone. Although it's what he has intended, others didn't know it and wouldn't let him do his plan. Apart from thinking its logical value, I was sad that Gong Zishang lost her bestie. I was genuinely enjoying their dialogues, they were so natural. If there happens to be a second season, I'll be missing their interaction. His part in the story shouldn't be like this, in my opinion.

Hello Anon!! I'm assuming this is about my recent Hua gongzi ramblings!!

I was definitely questioning why Gong Ziyu, who declared that he could win against Hua gongzi in a fight, would let him defend the Hua residence against one of the Wufeng's Wangs alone. Even if he did send some Red Jade guardians along, their chances of winning were...quite low.

Though I do think he had been planning this all along, given how the servants knew to pass the bracelet and sword to Elder Yue and Gong Ziyu respectively, he must have left some notes behind or something.

And yeah, Gong Zishang lost the one friend who really understood and could empathize with her situation, and really listened to her. That realisation punched me in the gut.

I also feel bad for Elder Yue and Xue Tongzi, who lost both of their friends too...

not "they did nothing wrong" or "they are a horrible bastard" but a secret third thing: they did things wrong and I like that about them but everyone over-exaggerates their negative impact on the story

#this is about rhoam botw #but a lot of characters i like fit this #like technically ganondorf is this for me...and rose quartz and homura and probably half a dozen other characters #gman does lean a bit further on the bastard scale but. yeesh #like yeah they obviously did stuff wrong but the fandom will just give them additional crimes For Funsies. um shut upp #cant like a morally grey or evil character these days #glider rambles
